This beautiful island has not only white sand beaches with stunning turquoise waters, but also the natural beauty and the mystery of his enigmatic <a title=\"Easter Island Heads\" href=\"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/rapa-nui-culture\/moai-easter-island-statues\/\">moai<\/a>, which make it one of the most attractive destinations in the world.<\/p>\n<!-- Widget Shortcode --><div id=\"text-47\" class=\"widget widget_text widget-shortcode area-arbitrary \">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 0.7em; color: #c4c4c4; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 5px;\">ADVERTISING<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"anuncio\">\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9974337153208599\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Banner_Central Rapa Nui -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9974337153208599\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"4035446418\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><!-- \/Widget Shortcode -->\n<p>It is for this reason that travelers of <a href=\"https:\/\/tripadvisor.co.uk\/TravelersChoice-Islands-cTop-g1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tripadvisor<\/a> chose Easter Island as one of the 10 most popular islands of 2013, one of the few locations on the planet that remains unspoilt and where it seems that the builders of the mythical stone giants will return at any time to continue their work.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it is an amazing destination to enjoy a wonderful beach, but Easter Island is much more. The surprise that awaits visitors after the path that leads from Hanga Roa (the only town on the island) to the volcano <a title=\"Rano Kau\" href=\"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/easter-island-sightseeing\/easter-island-volcanoes\/rano-kau\/\">Rano Kau<\/a>, is simply indescribable. Getting there and meet that huge crater that one side falls straight to a majestic sea roaring against the rock, is simply an experience that leaves you breathless. We can imagine the ancient <a title=\"Rapa Nui Culture\" href=\"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/rapa-nui-culture\/\">Rapanui<\/a> competitors descending for this almost vertical cliff, on their way to the Motus, to get the first egg of <a title=\"Easter Island Animals\" href=\"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/manutara-sacred-bird-rapa-nui-easter-island\/\">Manutara<\/a>, and become the winner of the <a title=\"Tangata Manu\" href=\"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/rapa-nui-culture\/tangata-manu-the-easter-island-birdman\/\">Birdman Competition<\/a>. What kind of men were able to walk down those cliffs, swim those distances and get back with an intact egg strapped to their heads?<\/p>\n<p>And what kind of men were able to carve giant stone sculptures, take them out of the volcano <a title=\"Rano Raraku\" href=\"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/easter-island-sightseeing\/easter-island-volcanoes\/rano-raraku\/\">Rano Raraku<\/a>, and carry them across the island to put them on their altars (ahu) to protect his people? As much as we walk around the spectacular quarry of <a title=\"Rano Raraku\" href=\"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/easter-island-sightseeing\/easter-island-volcanoes\/rano-raraku\/\">Rano Raraku<\/a> and try to imagine those stone giant going down its slopes and coming across the island, there will be no way to avoid thinking IMPOSSIBLE!<\/p>\n<p>Undoubtedly <a href=\"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/\">Easter Island<\/a> is one of the 10 most popular islands of 2013, and one of the best picks of all time. A perfect place to meet with history, mystery, nature, relaxation, and, of course, with wonderful people who preserved their traditions, music, language, dance, food and are ready to receive visitors with open arms. A place that once discovered is inevitably loved.<\/p>\n<!-- Widget Shortcode --><div id=\"custom_html-13\" class=\"widget_text widget widget_custom_html widget-shortcode area-arbitrary \"><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><div class=\"content-box-redes-sociales\"><div class=\"addtoany_shortcode\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list\"><a class=\"a2a_button_whatsapp\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/whatsapp?linkurl=&amp;linkname=\" title=\"WhatsApp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/facebook?linkurl=&amp;linkname=\" title=\"Facebook\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_x\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/x?linkurl=&amp;linkname=\" title=\"X\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_email\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/email?linkurl=&amp;linkname=\" title=\"Email\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- \/Widget Shortcode -->\n<!-- Widget Shortcode --><div id=\"text-15\" class=\"widget widget_text widget-shortcode area-arbitrary \">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 0.7em; color: #c4c4c4; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 5px;\">ADVERTISING<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"anuncio_the_moneytizer\" id=\"83795-19\" style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 30px;\"><script src=\"\/\/ads.themoneytizer.com\/s\/gen.js?type=19\"><\/script><script src=\"\/\/ads.themoneytizer.com\/s\/requestform.js?siteId=83795&formatId=19\"><\/script><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><!-- \/Widget Shortcode -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we think of an island, the first thing that comes to mind is the image of beautiful beaches, a sea of \u200b\u200bcalm turquoise waters, soft white sands, palm trees giving shade and, \u00a0of course, we imagine a lonely &#8230; <a title=\"Easter Island chosen one of the 10 most popular islands\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/easter-island-chosen-one-10-popular-islands\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Easter Island chosen one of the 10 most popular islands\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9660,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bos_mb_destination":[""],"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[97],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tourism","no-featured-image-padding"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Tripadvisor-english.jpg?fit=320%2C320&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9659"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9659\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24874,"href":"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9659\/revisions\/24874"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9660"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imaginarapanui.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
