What can be said about Easter Island? People throw around words like majestic, breathtaking and life-changing. When I hear that I tend to revert into my cynical shell, roll my eyes and respond with a perfunctory ‘I’m sure it was. Now please go away so my ears can be relieved of your obnoxious exaggerations.’
EASTER ISLAND — Having said that, I must say that if there were to be locations that have scaled quite high atop the mysterious peaks of profundity, then the areas that I’ve been fortunate enough to have visited within Chile’s diverse make-up would rise far higher than most, and I would be remiss if I failed to include the isolated, but culture-rich Easter Island on that list.
Easter Island encompasses close to 64 square miles in the South Pacific, and is considered the Southeastern corner of the Polynesian triangle (the other two vertices being of course Hawaii and Tahiti). It is located roughly 2,300 miles from Chile’s coastline and 2,500 miles east of Tahiti.

The Island was annexed by Chile on September 9, 1888 by Policarpo Toro by way of el ‘Tratado de Anexion de la Isla’ – the treaty was agreed upon mutually by the Chilean government and by the Rapa Nui leaders.
