Take a Relaxing Break in Easter Island

Easter Island is one of the world's most mysterious islands. This tiny island, which is about five hours off the coast of Chile, is one of the most isolated places on Earth. Don't let its small size fool you, this small piece of land has tons to offer. Brit Olom Tours in Miami can help you discover some of the most exciting adventures Easter Island offers.

Relax on the White Sand Beaches

If you're looking for some relaxing downtime while on vacation, check out the mystical beaches that surround the island. One of the most famous beaches on the island is Anakena. The clear blue water and soft white sand have made it a popular destination for tourists. Anakena also holds some of the most important moai, the famous statues, on the island. If you're looking for something less busy, the locals can guide you to one of the many private beaches.

Explore the Island's Volcanoes

The various volcanoes that helped create the island are now inactive and form part of the beautiful landscapes that make Easter Island so famous. Put on some comfortable shoes and hike up to Rano Kao, a beautiful crater lake in Rapa Nui National Park. You can also check out Ranu Raraku, another volcano famous for the amount of moai its slopes contain. You can walk among the large statues and get a close up view of some of the most important artifacts the island has to offer.

Get to Know the Local Culture

Since Easter Island is such a small area, the locals who inhabit the island form a strong community. Although it is considered Chilean, the Rapa Nui culture is still very dominant. Try some of the local cuisine and check out the central market for traditional souvenirs. There are also various museums to explore that help tell the story of the island. If you want to experience a traditional Rapa Nui festival, the Tapati Rapa Nui Festival takes place every year around late January and early February. Hotels tend to get fully booked around this time so make sure to plan ahead.
