General information
Recognized worldwide as one of the most mysterious places in the world, largely because of its unique insulation, Easter Island is a great little undiscovered gem. Full of mystery, history, myths and legends, a trip to it, confronts us at every moment to an unknown and fascinating world.
One alternative to not miss anything and learn everything possible about the fascinating Rapa Nui culture, is to do some of the Easter Island tours and excursions offered by various travel agencies. Usually the tours are run by local guides or people with many years living on the island, which are not only able to tell the story of archaeological sites but have many personal stories and family to tell to traveler, which give a plus to the visit.
In addition, since August 2022, to visit the sites of the Rapa Nui National Park, the company of an accredited guide or a Rapa Nui host of legal age is mandatory.

On the other hand, there are remote areas like the north coast, where there are no marked trails but are full of archaeological remains, caves and petroglyphs that are almost impossible to find if you do not have a guide who knows the place well, so if you want to know that part of the island, it is best to join a guided tour.
