Easter Island Tours Easter Island Tours is world's most popular yet least visited
archaeological sites. It is mainly a small hilly island
of volcanic origin. It is sixty three square miles in
size boasting three extinct volcanoes, the tallest being
1674 feet.
It is believed technically that the island
is a single massive volcano rising over ten thousand
feet from the Pacific Ocean floor. The earliest name
of this island is Te Pito O Te Henua, meaning ‘The Center
or the naval of the World'.
Located 3,700 km off the west coast of Chile, Easter
Island is the world's most secluded inhabited island.
It is also one of the most bewildering places on Earth,
possessing a history that remains as indistinct as it
is reminiscent. It is a mysterious charming land amidst
nature.
The restored village of Orongo is one of Easter Island
mystery. The village is nestled in an impressive setting,
between the volcano of Rano Kao and a absolute cliff
drop-off. Rocks found at the village contain 150 carvings
featuring figures with a man's body and a bird's head.
It also comprises huge figures carved of volcanic rock.
Hundreds of these sculpted monoliths mark the landscape,
some in impressive rows, others toppled, broken, and
scarred by violence.
All of the residents of Easter Island
live in the town of Hanga Roa, and it is an easy day's
drive from town around the island in search of moai
which is huge stone sculptures and ahu (the rectangular
stone platforms which moai were mounted on). One of
the most renowned sites on the island is Rano Raraku,
where 70 moai seem to ascend from the earth.
You can go for shopping in Arica which is one of the most interesting things to do during your Arica
travel.
Just fill up you wallet, pick up an empty bag and walk straight down to the street market, where you can find shops lined across both sides of the street selling a wide range of articles.
You will be amazed to see the beautiful works of local art and craft. These are the best buys with which you can decorate your wall or shelves in your bedroom.
The remnants
of over 150 other figures lie in a nearby volcanic crater,
where the rock for the moai was extracted.
