A mild year-round climate allows for walking the island’s geography and traveling along the coast of numerous ahus that are home to the gigantic sculptures called moai.
Who, when and why were these sculptures created? It is a mystery. It is presumed that the island has been inhabited since the earliest centuries of our times, and the moai are hundreds of years old.
Today visitors can share with the descendents of this ancient culture and who preserve their ancestral customs in the face of the advancement of Western civilization.

The itinerary is based on the requests of those that contract the excursions. For this reason, Explora Patagonia has designed 2 types of programs:
- 3 nights 4 days.
- 4 nights 5 days.
There are programs for 3 and 4 nights throughout the year in Explora Rapa Nui. With the purpose of being able to count on time and plenty of available space, we recommend the program of 4 nights. The starting dates of these programs are variable; therefore, we request that you ask about them at the time of reservation.

Exploring Rapa Nui
The hallmark of the "Explora Hotel" is that the passengers, who are called explorers, may
participate in our diverse explorations that are organized according to group size and
guest preference.
Every day, we offer easy to more difficult walks that, one by one, unveil the secrets and
beauty of the island. These walks are combined with picnics on rocky outcrops or along the
shore, always in mesmerizing sites.
The attractions of Rapa Nui
Compared to other touristic parks and natural reserves, this national park doesn’t owe its
singularity to the spectacular vegetation. It's singularity resides in its volcanic
origins and its oceanic surroundings.
The most attractive sites are Rano Kau (a crater
with a lagoon in its interior and the natural vegetation), Anakena (a restored Ahu, beach
and picnic place), Ovahe (pink sand beaches) and Manuga Tere Vaka (the highest place in
the island).
The Climate. A Luminous Atmosphere
Located immediately south of the Tropic of Capricorn, Easter Island has a subtropical marine climate that is profoundly influenced by wind and maritime currents. With an excellent climate year-round, the average temperature is 21ºC (69.8ºF), with temperatures of 28ºC (82.4 ºF) during summer (January—February) and 14ºC (57.2 ºF) to 22ºC (71.6 ºF) in winter (June—August).
The island is very luminous even on cloudy days. May is the wettest month, although rainfall can occur any time of the year.
