Easter Island
Mysterious, ancient, and remote, this Polynesian island in the south Pacific is famous for hundreds of stone statues called moai, some reaching 35 feet and weighing 100 tons. Visit the volcanic crater where the early Rapanui people quarried the stone, and the stone village of Orongo, the ceremonial center of the island’s birdman cult.
