Santiago & Easter Island, Chile

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Santiago, Chile's bustling capital, sits beneath the snow-capped Andes and is known for its vibrant food scene, world-class wine regions nearby, and lively neighbourhoods like Bellavista and Lastarria. Easter Island (Rapa Nui), a remote Chilean territory in the South Pacific, is one of the most isolated inhabited islands on Earth and is famed for its nearly 1,000 monumental stone moai statues carved by the Rapa Nui people. Together, these two destinations offer a striking contrast — urban sophistication paired with one of the world's great archaeological mysteries. Travellers come for hiking, culture, history, and the sheer bucket-list draw of standing among ancient giants in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Self-Launched Santiago & Easter Island Adventure (7 Days)

Skip the operator markup and plan this iconic Santiago-to-Easter-Island adventure yourself. This self-launched version follows the same 7-day route — city biking in Santiago, two days of archaeological tours on Easter Island, and a return to the Chilean capital — but books everything independently for a fraction of the price. Flights between Santiago and Easter Island are not included (as with the original tour), and the $80 Easter Island park entrance fee should be budgeted separately. All costs are approximate estimates based on current budget traveller rates.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Santiago & Easter Island, Chile yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
