Two unique cultural and archaeological destinations of South
America and the South Pacific are combined in a travel package

and the Atacama Desert on the county’s mainland, the
seven-day or two-week packages start at US $3,000 per person,
double occupancy, including round-trip air with LanChile..
Easter Island, a scant 64 square miles of volcanic landscape

teaming with sea life, friendly natives, detailed petroglyphs,
and hundreds of massive moai statutes built more 1,000 years
ago.
After visiting the most remote island in the world, travellers
will be flown to the driest desert in the world, the seemingly
endless expanse of the Atacama.
 This
is a spectacular landscape of intense colours, rocks and.
peaks. Centuries ago, this arid desert was populated by indigenous
civilizations from the high Andean plateau, which later developed
into the culture of Atacama.
