There are statues everywhere 🗿🗿🗿
But did you know that all of these statues were actually reconstructed by the Chilean government? The reason behind this is quite intriguing: the island’s tribes used to engage in conflicts by toppling each other’s statues [facepalm][facepalm][facepalm].
The island itself isn’t very large, but due to the limited transportation options—only one LATAM flight per day to and from Santiago and Easter Island (flights to and from Tahiti have been suspended since the pandemic and haven’t resumed yet)—you’ll likely need to spend the night on the island.
Despite the logistical challenges and the high costs, it remains a truly unique and fascinating destination worth visiting [crying][crying][crying].
