New Accommodations
Speaking of places to stay, with the recent tourism boom, came the Hangaroa Eco Village and Spa. This hotel became the island’s first high-end hotel with its 75 rooms that are inspired by the Rapa Nui people’s original accommodations. Amazingly, each room is powered by solar panels and wind turbines. You can also find clay baths and volcanic rock furniture. Sounds beautiful!

Changed Landscape
Regardless of all the disagreement on Easter Island theories, there’s one thing historians all concluded. At some time during its history, the island underwent extreme deforestation. Many speculate that the people burned down a large portion of trees so they could clear land and make canoes from the trees. Another theory is that the islanders needed to create transportation tools for the Moai statues. Anyway, now the landscape is completely changed since when it was inhabited.
