Easter Island: how to get there?

Located more than 2,000 miles west of South America, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Easter Island is one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth. It marks the southeast corner of the Polynesian triangle, with Hawaii to the north and to the southwest.

The island covers 63 square miles of land, nearly half of which is in Rapa Nui National Park, and it’s home to approximately 900 mesmerizing moai statues, often called Easter Island Heads. The giant, monolithic carvings are scattered around the island, some standing proudly against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean, while others are buried up to their necks in soil.

Well, no dout it`s an amazing place to visit. But, how to get there? Well, it`s simple: by air. The only airline that flies to Easter Island is LATAM, the Chilean airline. That means that travelers must necessarily fly through Chile.  From Santiago to Hanga Roa which is the capital of Easter Island, the flight is five and a half hours, and there are about a 10 to 12 flights each week.
