National Park Rapa Nui

Rapa Nui National Park, located on Easter Island, Chile, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its archaeological significance and unique Polynesian culture. The park covers much of the island and protects its famous moai statues—large stone heads carved by early inhabitants. These statues represent ancestors and are central to the island’s cultural history. The park also includes volcanic craters, archaeological sites, and natural habitats. Managed jointly by Chile and local Rapa Nui people, it aims to preserve the island’s natural environment and cultural heritage, attracting visitors interested in history, archaeology, and Polynesian traditions.
