Easter Island Tours

Castro is in the middle of the island, which is 160 km. long from north to south. To the west of Castro between the gulf of Ancud and the gulf of Corcovado, there are numerous islands of different sizes, like Caucahué, Buta-Chauques, Meullín, Quenac, San Pedro, and others.

An important characteristic of Castro is its architecture based on the construction of houses on the water, called palafitos, which confer an unusual landscape, full of grace and poetry. The main economic activity of Castro is fishing, complemented by agriculture. The production is for local consumption.

San Francisco Church is the grand church which awes the visitor with its high arched ceilings, carved pillars and rows of pews for the devoted. The church is made of timber tapped from the nearby forests.

We travel on to Easter Island, known locally as Rapa Nui, an isolated speck in the vast blue Pacific Ocean. As modern travelers, we can only marvel at the incredible maritime achievement of the island’s founding Polynesian settlers.

Exploring Rano Raraku, the volcanic crater that was the beating heart of the ancient culture, we ponder the mystery of the complex network of quarries and the enigmatic standing statues that still dot the grass-covered slopes.

Tracing the ancient roads over which statues were transported to nearly every corner of the island, we will confront the fallen giants where they rest today on massive stone ceremonial platforms. At Ahu Tongariki, the largest megalithic site in Polynesia, we will marvel at 15 re-erected giants.

While speculation abounds as to why, after attaining such heights, ancient Rapanui civilization collapsed, we will be introduced to the charm and armth of modern island society. We will meet with talented young artisans and artists, swim and picnic on pink-sand beaches, and attend an energetic performance of ceremonial dances, all in the shadow of the mysterious statues

The Chiloe National Park gives the visitor a glance into the wildlife of Chiloe region.

One of the places of interest of the Castro Chile Tours, the Park is perhaps one of the best-kept secrets of Chile.

Museum of Modern Art is a must see for art lovers and has paintings by some of the most prominent artists of Chile.
