Our friends from Russia, Slava and Anaya traveled to Easter Island about 7 years before us so we will include a few of their photos. We both  stayed in the Explora hotel which provided  Fine food, wine and very cool interesting statues. The hotel below on arriving and what views below from our room and they had great amineties like pools and dance preformances below

Ok during the days we would hike and bike all around the Island and visit the many incredible statues photos below 

 

The biking was great as the area was mostly farm land and or park and we would get stopped by the wild horses which outnumber humans on the island and free range cattle along the way, photo below 

Blocked by the horses above and there are more horses than humans on the island. The hiking below was fantastic as we hike into caves and to the top of Volcanoes and photos below 

Volcano arriving to the top wow below  

Climbing into the caves below and when we reached the end it was on a cliff overlooking the ocean wow

We also hiked up to the “Bird-man Village” below and they lived here and it was built exclusively for religious purposes and were like caves and photos below 

There was also a great beach  that  we  hiked  to below 

There is also great diving and horseback riding available but unfortunately I ran out of time but one of our group did it and some photos below 

A few photos of Statues below

 

To conclude our trip, a few photos of the hotel that overlooked the ocean and their amenities like their pool and Sauna below which will be followed by Slava and Anaya’s trip.

Below, our friends Slava and Anaya visited here about 2015 and below is their photos of their trip. We met them in the Atacama in Chile and they are awesome and their trip to Easter Island is below
