Easter Island - Rapa Nui
This island belongs to Chile and is probably the most isolated on earth : in the Pacific Ocean, just between South America and French Polynesia. Despite a growing number of visitors attracted by the beauty of this island and the enigmatic stone statues, this island remains unspoiled and sparslely populated, mostly by Rapui Nui people keeping their polynesian traditions.
A travel to Easter Island, combined with Chile, Peru or French Polynesia destinations is a real experience you probably never forget.
Hanga Roa is the capital and the harbour of Easter Island and is located in the lowlands between the extinct volcanoes of Terevaka and Rano Kau.

The winner will give the power to rule the island to its clan for 1 year until the next race.
