Its Polynesian settlers arrived centuries ago and created an extraordinary culture, best known for the moai, massive stone statues carved from volcanic rock that stand on platforms called ahu around the coast, most of them with their backs to the sea, watching over the land.\r\n\r\nThe island is small, around 24km at its longest, and almost everyone stays in Hanga Roa, the only town. Much of the island is the Rapa Nui National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site managed by the Indigenous Ma'u Henua community, who use park fees to protect the sites.\r\n\r\nVisiting takes planning. You need a return ticket, accommodation registered with the national tourism service and an online entry form before you fly, and stays are limited to 30 days. Give it four or five days to see the moai at different times of day, swim at Anakena beach and feel the island's slower rhythm.","hw_hub_city_facts":"Languages | Spanish and Rapa Nui\r\nCurrency | Chilean peso (CLP).

Anakena is the island's main white sand beach, with palm trees and moai on the sand. In Hanga Roa, Ahu Tahai is the classic spot for sunset with the moai silhouetted against the sky.\r\n\r\nThe park ticket gives access to the sites for 10 days, with a single visit allowed to Rano Raraku and Orongo, and visits to many sites must be made with a certified local guide.
