EASTER ISLAND PACKAGES |
58km of chiseled, dented, ripped, and...isolated coastline.
A small arid area resting in the vastness of the South Pacific
A mixture of volcanic earth and rocks, craters, caves, hills, plateaux and plains, swept by wind.
This geographical situation and the unique landscape of Easter Island, always described as being inhospitable, couldn’t in themselves provide a reason for the sense of fascination and mystery it has evoked in the past as well as today with foreign cultures. Fascination of the Dutchman Roggeween on an Easter Sunday, the 5th of April 1722, when he first spotted these enormous statues know as Moai, of Haedo in 1770 (he drew the first map of the island), Cook (1774) La Perouse (1746)
Finally and especially a sense of fascination and mystery for a land, virtually merging into the sea and sky where colours change by the moment with every shift of the wind.
