s that have intrigued people around the world for hundreds of years. Stories abound of the rise and fall of the Rapa Nui culture, how they carved and erected these massive moai – some almost 10 meters (33 feet) in height – and of how the Rapa Nui people ever settled on this tiny island, located in one of the most isolated places on the face of the Earth. Here is your chance to explore all these mysteries that add to the magic and allure of this remote island.
TravelQuest has secured some of the best available accommodations on the island for this eclipse – ranging from the elegant Explora Rapa Nui, to the family-run Hotel Irorana.
