Planned Post-Program itinerary
Day 1: Santiago
After traveling from Punta Arenas to Santiago de Chile, you’ll enjoy a relaxing night in a comfortable hotel in Chile’s fascinating capital.
Day 2: Santiago/Easter Island
After breakfast, you’ll be taken to the airport for your flight to Easter Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On arrival, you'll transfer to your hotel, which will be your home for the next three nights. Enjoy lunch at the hotel before your Easter Island adventures begin with a choice of included excursions.
Afterwards, you'll return to your hotel for dinner, and you can spend the rest of the evening at your leisure.
Days 3–5: Easter Island
You’ll spend the next two days delving into the ancient history, culture, and mysteries of Rapa Nui, Easter Island. You can choose from a variety of incredible local excursions.
You could see the Seven Explorers, the beautifully preserved human head monoliths that were sacred to the Moai people, or visit Anakena beach where the island's first king landed. Perhaps you’ll choose to experience the fabled epicenter of our planet’s energy at Te Pito Kura, or you can also join guided volcano hikes and bicycle tours.
In between adventures, you'll enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the hotel.
