Circuits, hotels, excursions and transfers in Isla de Pascua.
Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is one of the most remote inhabited places on earth and a first-order cultural destination, famed for its moai and ceremonial platforms. The island combines Polynesian archaeology, volcanoes, cliffs and beaches within a compact, drivable territory.
Within a Chilean program it works as a high-value extension from Santiago, with an unhurried pace built around sites such as Ahu Tongariki, Rano Raraku and Orongo. It requires early planning given limited air capacity.
Easter Island is a year-round destination with a subtropical climate and rain possible in any season. The southern summer (December–March) is warmer and more humid; the rest of the year is mild. The Tapati festival, around February, is the major cultural highlight and raises demand.
The island suits small, high-end incentive groups rather than large congresses, given its limited hotel and air capacity. Its value lies in cultural exclusivity and isolation, not convention infrastructure. It is best programmed for compact groups with carefully managed logistics.
Credible incentive experiences include private, out-of-hours visits to moai sites, sunrises at Ahu Tongariki, tours with Rapa Nui guides and cultural immersion around Polynesian tradition. The island's intimate scale favours memorable, privileged-access experiences.
Reached only by air at Mataveri airport (IPC), with flights from Santiago (SCL) of roughly five and a half hours. There are no alternative scheduled connections, so programming depends on air availability. Internal transfers are short, with the island drivable by road.
Budget at least three nights given flight frequency and the destination's pace. It works as an extension from Santiago and fits culturally minded, long-haul clients. Book well ahead, especially around Tapati.
Recommended stay: 3 nights.

Rates are net (wholesale) and reserved for travel agencies and tour operators, who sign in to see them and add their own margin. Public visitors see an indicative retail “from” price; the net rate is never shown outside the agency portal.
Most bookings are confirmed immediately and the voucher is emailed within minutes. When a service shows “In process”, RUMBO LIBRE is confirming final availability with the receptive operator at destination — usually within 24 to 48 business hours.
Cancellations follow Clause 7 of the Terms: more than 30 days before the service, no penalty and a full refund; 15 to 30 days, 25%; 8 to 14 days, 50%; 3 to 7 days, 75%; less than 72 hours before commencement or a no-show, 100%. Certain destinations — Patagonia, the Amazon region and high-demand dates in peak season — apply stricter terms, stated in the quotation. The schedule above is indicative: the conditions that apply to each booking are those confirmed in the quotation, and may be stricter in high season, on public holidays or where a supplier applies its own policy.
Amendment requests must reach RUMBO LIBRE at least 72 business hours before the service begins. Changes are managed with the receptive operator subject to availability, and any resulting rate difference applies. For private services, a name change may require re-issuing the booking at the current rate.
