Of the things I loved about this entire trip isn’t just the sightseeing… but the Cultural Adventure of learning about the history of the island and understanding the true story behind the awesome but mysterious Moai that blanket the Rapa Nui.

Easter Island, Day 1. The plane from Lima lands on Easter Island’s Mataveri International Aiport at around 5:30am after two long flights totally around 14 hours from San Francisco. It was a comfortable ride on LAN Air and slept most of the time. In the afternoon was my first encounter with awesome Moai

Planning my trip to Easter Island wasn’t as much of a challenge as I expected. Granted that Easter Island is said to be to “the most remote inhabited island in the world.” A high school classmate of mine, and fellow adventurer, Gabby Malvar, is the only other person I personally know who has been to Easter Island. When I asked him how to get there, he told me it was “complicated” to get there, requiring several transfers and modes of transportation. Perhaps I heard him wrong, but that is what stuck to my mind. When I actually researched it… it wasn’t that complicated at all.

I arrived on Easter Island at around 6am. The tour folk picked me up and settled me into my hotel. After having some breakfast and unpacking at the hotel, I set out on a 3 hour walk around the town of Hanga Roa. By the time I got to the town, it was around 11:40 am so I decided to locate a local eatery and have some lunch.
