Easter Island is one of the most remote locations in the world. You can only access it by sailing across the south pacific or by flying from Chile or Peru. The flight is 6 hours westward and you finally end up on a tiny island, right in the middle of ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/exotic-views-on-easter-island/feed/ 2 https://bkpk.me/easter-island-on-a-budget/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=easter-island-on-a-budget https://bkpk.me/easter-island-on-a-budget/#comments Tue, 29 Jan 2013 09:48:23 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=3852
First of all, allow me to say:   there is no such thing as “Easter Island on a budget”!   So, before you accuse me of writing a misleading title, let me explain that what I meant to say was “how to make the most of Easter Island while spending ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/easter-island-on-a-budget/feed/ 15 https://bkpk.me/the-day-rapa-nui-travel-took-us-on-a-tour-around-easter-island/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-day-rapa-nui-travel-took-us-on-a-tour-around-easter-island https://bkpk.me/the-day-rapa-nui-travel-took-us-on-a-tour-around-easter-island/#comments Mon, 10 Sep 2012 17:47:10 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=3967
Whether you are the type of tourist who normally likes taking guided tours or you are more of an independent kind of traveler, Easter Island is one of those places where it is very worth it to spend at least a day on an organized tour.

Most hotels and hostels in Hanga Roa, Easter Island, tend to concentrate downtown, around the main road. Some others, like Cabanas Rapa Nui Orito, offer an alternative way to spend your time on the island, by staying in the in-lands, the “countryside”.   Less than 10 minutes car ride from ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/cabanas-rapa-nui-orito-staying-in-easter-islands-countryside/feed/ 3 https://bkpk.me/history-and-fun-in-easter-island-part-22/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=history-and-fun-in-easter-island-part-22 https://bkpk.me/history-and-fun-in-easter-island-part-22/#comments Mon, 03 Sep 2012 14:47:11 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=4131
(Read History and fun in Easter Island, part 1/2)   Exploitation: the island as a case-study for the world! It is believed that, when the Rapa Nui originally came to the island about 700 years ago, it was a place covered in greenery and trees.

I must confess Easter Island was never on my travel plans. Not because it didn’t seem like an interesting destination on my mind (quite the opposite!) but because, somehow, it always felt like “too far, too hard to reach”. Before visiting Chile, I actually didn’t even know Easter Island is ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/history-and-fun-in-easter-island-part-12/feed/ 16 https://bkpk.me/funky-moai/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=funky-moai https://bkpk.me/funky-moai/#comments Mon, 27 Aug 2012 17:00:26 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=4056
Not all Moai’s are historic ruins. This fellow sits in the middle of Hanga Roa, Easter Island and has some pretty funky tattoos on his back! That’s some pretty interesting artwork – I wonder what it means..]]> https://bkpk.me/funky-moai/feed/ 1 https://bkpk.me/tea-nui-hotel-cabins-welcoming-az-to-easter-island/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tea-nui-hotel-cabins-welcoming-az-to-easter-island https://bkpk.me/tea-nui-hotel-cabins-welcoming-az-to-easter-island/#comments Sun, 26 Aug 2012 17:01:39 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=3908
We landed on Easter Island with the excitement that one normally feels arriving at one of those places that you know you’ll most probably be at once in your lifetime! The team from Tea Nui knows how to receive eager tourists and introduces them to the Island in a way that ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/tea-nui-hotel-cabins-welcoming-az-to-easter-island/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/recommended-restaurants-in-hanga-roa-easter-island/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=recommended-restaurants-in-hanga-roa-easter-island https://bkpk.me/recommended-restaurants-in-hanga-roa-easter-island/#comments Sun, 19 Aug 2012 16:14:44 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=3856
Hanga Roa is the one and only town in Easter Island. It’s not a big city but, due to the influx of tourism, the ratio of citizens-restaurants is quite high.

When you go around Rapa Nui (aka Easter Island) you might think that the locals would only honor their male ancestors. Truth is that the Moai statues resemble masculine features, very serious ones, but there were also some female Moais found in the island and one of them is safe ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/serious-men/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/romantic-easter-island-sunset-and-a-story/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=romantic-easter-island-sunset-and-a-story https://bkpk.me/romantic-easter-island-sunset-and-a-story/#comments Wed, 08 Aug 2012 00:37:35 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=3806
Easter Island sunsets are absolutely spectacular. Sitting plonk in the middle of the pacific it’s no wonder that the sunsets here are picture perfect!

Beware of falling coconuts! You couldn’t name a better place paradise. Anakena beach on Easter Island is a crescent shaped beach flanked by palm trees and statues of the ancient Moai. With soft white sand and falling coconuts, adventure is within reach!]]> https://bkpk.me/and-a-sign-said/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/iorana/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=iorana https://bkpk.me/iorana/#comments Sun, 29 Jul 2012 05:54:58 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=3694
Iorana means “greetings” in the local Polynesian language of Easter Island, aka Rapa Nui. Today we went around the archeological sites of the island to only realize that the whole land is an open air archeological ground. You can find Moais like these all over the place.
