In the summer of 2008 (when I was 10 years old) with my parents we went on vacation to two different places, but for me it was the best to know Easter Island or Rapa Nui, which is an island located in Polynesia, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and 5 hours and a half flying from Santiago.

We were there for a week, enough to tour the island well because it is not very big. It only has one town and unlike other Polynesian islands; it has few beaches, but it does not take away how pretty it is.

We did many activities, of course we went to a beach (Anakena beach), but we also saw the famous moais (you can find them everywhere on their altars), we went to two quarries, where they made the pukao (moai hats) and where they made the moais. Furthermore, our travel coincided with the Tapati celebration.

This trip is especial because I knew another part of Chile and another culture with my family, now we hardly travel together, I usually just do it with my mom. In addition to this, my favorite activity was watching the sunrise through the Ahu Tongariki.
