When it comes to helping others with their trips to Easter Island, we seem to get one question over and over again.
It is simply this: how many nights do I need?
Considering Easter Island is only about 60 square miles and you can drive around it in a few hours, you may think you only need two or three night there.
But in order to truly see it all, we have determined that the magic number is five nights to visit Easter Island, and we have a very good reason for it.
Snacking is one my favorite ways to eat, especially when traveling.
You get to try a bunch of different dishes and don’t have to take a chance on a massive plate of anything in particular.
On our recent stay in Quito, Ecuador, we took a snacking oriented food trip with Viator where we sampled traditional baked goods, sweets, and other small plates, and got an insider’s look on how these snacks are made.
The following 3 snacks made it onto our list of most unique and most delicious foods to try in Quito!
“Is it possible to visit Easter Island without spending a lot of money?”
This is a question we’ve been asked quite frequently since our trip to the island. To answer this question in a single statement, the best we can say this: It depends on what you define as “a lot“.
If you are looking at spending under $50/day, Easter Island (also known as Isla de Pascua or Rapa Nui) will not be the place to visit unless you happen to fall within a very unique circumstance that we’ll talk about later on.
For those who have a slightly higher budget, there are still many ways on how to get to Easter Island without breaking the bank too much.
Finally, we made it to the world’s largest salt flats- the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia! Our excitement could not be contained as we watched the sun rise over the vast plain of salt that is almost as large as some small European countries.
With only a few mountains off in the distance, and an endless field of salt at our feet, we finally understood why the Uyuni salt flats draws in so many visitors each year.
It is unlike any place we’ve ever visited.
Armed with our two Roaming Gnomes, a toy llama, and a bottle of Pisco, we were quite excited to get out into the middle of it all and take some hilarious forced perspective photos.
After starting, we quickly noticed an issue. Our photos were awful!
The clock was ticking on our time in the salt flats, and we had to figure out a solution fast.
