Discover Rapa Nui with Professor Terry Hunt

Our adventure begins in Santiago, Chile, with a welcome dinner and an excursion to the renowned Casablanca Valley, where we’ll enjoy wine tasting and lunch among the vineyards of Casa del Bosque.

We then journey to Rapa Nui (Easter Island) for six unforgettable nights at the award-winning Explora Rapa Nui. This all-inclusive luxury lodge serves as our base for exploring one of the world’s most fascinating destinations.

Guided by renowned archaeologist Professor Terry Hunt, we’ll discover ancient ceremonial sites, mysterious caves, and the iconic moai statues that have captivated travelers for centuries. Along the way, we’ll experience the island’s dramatic landscapes, rich culture, and remarkable history.

After an extraordinary week of exploration and discovery, we’ll return to Santiago for a final evening before departing with memories to last a lifetime.
