Easter Island: Mataveri International Airport (IPC)
Tucked along the Pacific coast of Rapa Nui, Mataveri International Airport is a place whose character is shaped by the island’s extreme remoteness. The airport stands beside Hanga Roa, Easter Island’s only town, on a small Chilean territory far out in the southeastern Pacific. Its runway is crucial infrastructure: regular air service provides the principal link between Rapa Nui and mainland Chile, while the surrounding settlement and coast underline how limited the island’s developed land is. Rapa Nui is internationally known for its monumental moai, stone figures created by the island’s Indigenous Polynesian society. Much of the island’s archaeological heritage is protected within Rapa Nui National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Mataveri is the main arrival point for a place where aviation, ocean distance and Polynesian heritage meet.

The Pacific Ocean defines the setting of Easter Island — isolation has concentrated life on this volcanic island around Hanga Roa, while open shores and grass-covered slopes give settlement a sparse, self-contained character. Known locally as Rapa Nui, the island is renowned for its moai, monumental stone figures carved chiefly from volcanic tuff at Rano Raraku and erected on ceremonial ahu platforms. Ahu Tongariki, restored after a 1960 tsunami, lines up 15 moai beside the coast. Rapa Nui National Park has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995.

Among the countries of South America, Chile stands out for its exceptional north-to-south extent between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean. The Atacama Desert in the north is one of the driest places on Earth, while the south reaches into Patagonia, where Torres del Paine National Park is known for its jagged granite peaks, glaciers and lakes. Chile also includes Rapa Nui, the Pacific island famed for its monumental moai statues. In Valparaíso, steep hills, funicular railways and colourful historic neighbourhoods reflect the country’s maritime past; its historic quarter is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
