The name in Spanish is "Isla de Pascua" and in Polynesian is "Rapa Nui". It is one of the most isolated islands on the planet, located at 3,512 kilometres far from Chile. We can get in by plane from Santiago, Chile, to Hanga Roa airport at the island on a flight lasting about 5h. I stayed there for 6 days in a small and comfortable inn in Hanga Roa, the only village on the island.]]> 2021-03-14 12:15:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dsasas/sz84epzbzixhda9k/wish/1307064865 Small but full of attractions dsasas https://padlet.com/dsasas/sz84epzbzixhda9k/wish/1307123261 Although it is a small island, there is a lot to do there.
