Hanga Roa trip planner

The main town and capital of Chile's Easter Island, Hanga Roa serves as a base for most visitors to the island, with all explorations of Easter Island and its famous moai monoliths beginning here. Located between two extinct volcanoes, the harbor town has around 3,300 residents, representing nearly 90 percent of the island's total population. Likewise, the majority of the island's businesses, homes, and services cluster here. Although vacations in Hanga Roa usually focus on the world-famous archaeological sites elsewhere on the island, the town itself still possesses plenty of charm, with a fishing harbor and a couple of nice local beaches.
