The Rapa Nui or Easter Island is a small island in the South-eastern Pacific Ocean. It had been an uninhabited island hundreds of years ago. Then, a group of Polynesians who left their native land came and settled here. Almost 3700 kilometres away from the coast of Chile, Rapa Nui is the most remote inhabited island in the world. It is located at the south eastern end of the Polynesian Triangle.
The Rapa Nui National Park is protected as a Chilean wildlife area. The island carries the legacy of the Rapa Nui culture. The park was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.
