Easter Island| VC128 EXPLORA POSADA DE MIKE RAPU HOTEL - EASTER ISLAND | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Easter island is located
in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and home to a culture whose origins
are still unknown, Easter Island is a place of magnetism and mystery.
An agreeable climate year-round allows travelers to walk along its
coastline and visit the numerous “ahus” that contain the
gigantic “moai”sculputures. Who made these sculptures, and when and why were they made? It is an unsolved mystery, yet it is presumed that the island was inhabited from the beginning of the first centuries of our time, and that the moais are hundreds of years old. It is also know that numerous tribes lived on the island during a time when they fought amongst themselves, destroying the territory, though it is not known why they destroyed the majority of the moai. The island is very luminous even on cloudy days. May is the wettest month, although rainfall can occur any time of the year. |
