We had a one-week holiday at Easter Island, or Rapanui, as it's called in the local language. This isolated island has beautiful nature, which gives a huge contrast to polluted and overpopulated cities like Santiago. - A whole another story is why Chile happens to "own" this island.

Yes, they've been converted. Hunderds of years ago.


Three major volcanos some millions years back created the island.


Nearby little islands with lots of shark around. See the locals fishing in their tiny boats?


This is the rock they used to make...


...moais out of.


Guess who really loved the rocks?


A leftover. I though this could be nice place renowated..


Dogs, chicken and horses. Everyone is free in Rapanui.
