Easter Island aka the largest open air museum is every bit deserving of its Unesco heritage. The off season timing of our trip makes the beautiful place even more remote. We are very often its lone admirers sharing its awesome wonder with the grazing cows and wild horses.
Among our favorite sites were Ahu Tongariki with its 15 restored Moais, the Rano Raraku quarry with the famous chiseled Moai whose face has graced many travel books, the restored Moai with the cemented eye and topknot at Ahu Tahai where we had a picnic of empanadas.
We have walked along the coast with the waves crashing against the rocks, waves that seem to call out to surfers but much too dangerous to attempt. This is such a beautiful place.
