Project Chile 2024
Annular Solar Eclipse Itineraries

Astro Trails will be observing from the remote volcanic Polynesian Island once known as Rapa Nui, the indigenous name of Easter Island. The most remote inhabited island on the planet, Easter Island is 3,700km from the coast of continental Chile and it bears witness to a unique cultural phenomenon.  A society of Polynesian origin that settled there c. A.D. 300 established a powerful, imaginative and original tradition of monumental sculpture and architecture, free from any external influence - an unrivalled cultural landscape that continues to fascinate people throughout the world. 

 

The island with almost 900 Moai statues offers the choice of a rare adventure - a remote, ancient land that few people ever reach!
