Riding & Trekking
Easter Island evokes many things but never indifference. Exciting,
it symbolizes its people's mystery and a past known by just a few.
This volcanic land, lost in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, hides
the most amazing treasures. Its Moais, caves, craters and its beaches
give this place a unique atmosphere. Easter Island is one of the masterpieces
of our planet, a magical encounter with the past.
We wonder to invite you to experience discovering Easter Island in
an absolutely unique way, far from the crowded paths and the tourists,
and on horseback… Unforgettable sunsets, warms nights in campfire-heated
caves, wonderful ambience and lots of memories are waiting for you.
The history of the island will be told through the narrative of its
inhabitants. |
