In case you missed my first, second, third, and fourth stops on the island, click here, here, here, and here. The next stop was my favorite of the day. I was already so blown away by everything I had seen thus far, that to say I was not expecting even more awesomeness would not be honest, but I was certainly not expecting something as awesome as this.
I suppose it was the combination of the statues and the ocean together that made it such a special place for me? What I am sure of is that the magnitude of beauty in that one setting was enough to make me tear up instantly and even just looking at these pictures now causes the same reaction.
The following picture is one of the best I have ever taken:
To put things in perspective, these Moai average around twenty feet tall.
Then it was time to put down my camera and “just be.” Well, until a pair of wild horses ran by, that of course had to be photographed!
After about an hour of sitting in awe and admiration, we then left for Alicia’s favorite stop on the island. . .
Wow. That picture is truly amazing. I’ve never seen a better picture from that site. And I’m in love with that site.
Gah! I totally want to visit Easter Island! Gorgeous photos Andy – these suffice nicely until I can visit myself 🙂
I love how the statues look like soldiers you asked to line up that way so you could photograph them. Classic!
Love these images — what fresh compositions of familiar subjects. Love ’em!
Nice pictures! I’m gonna go there.
SIGH, what a wonderful trip!!! Alicia sounds like the tour guide everyone wishes they had while the pictures above made the trip worth it in itself.
I never knew they had a row of them all lined up like that! It’s as if they’re guarding the shore. And wild horses?? What a mystical place…
I would love to see this in person. Can’t wait to go explore South America… it will have to wait until next trip.
Lovely blog you have.
I think these are seriously the most favorite pictures I’ve seen on your site…those statues are like CHESS pieces. And you look like you’re in a movie.
These are AMAZING photos! I am definitely adding Easter Island to my list of places to visit. 🙂
very cool!

My hubs is sitting next to me and extremely jealous that you got to visit one of his must see places!
So beautiful! You’re right; breathtaking!
Wow, I can see why you got all teary! That would have taken my breath away as well!
The Moai and sky images are breath-taking. Thank you for sharing all this beauty.
This is one of those places I just have to see!
Incredible. I remember seeing one of these pictures on someone’s photo contest. I can see why you placed so high.
Wow. I never even really thought of Easter Island as being a place I wanted to visit, but after seeing this pictures, I think I have to put it on my list. Really beautiful!
Thx for the inspiration!
Great Pictures! Clearest I’ve ever seen the Moai! Cool!
You’re photos look like they could be in National Geographic or something 🙂

This is definitely what I pictured Easter Island to look like! Those Wild Horses are gorgeous too! Wow.
What an Awesome day!
Seriously, I’m thrilled. Which place could be even better than this one?
Oh wow, I love your photos! Easter Island has been one of my dream destinations since fooorrreeevvveeeerrr. It looks magical.
Beautiful pics – Easter Island is on my “bucket list” 🙂

These are so incredible! It has always been a dream of mine to visit them
beautiful beautiful pictures….i may just have easter island to my list of ‘must visit’ places….
Andi, besides the fact that’s it really sweet you’ve been to Easter Island, your pictures are incredible. Blown away.
Nice Andi! I now want to travel to Easter Island… Went to Chili, but never made it there (chose to go to Patagonia and Atacama Desert).
Wow, Andi! Love these photos even more. I know the big story of Easter Island is the Moai but the scenery here is beautiful! Even the statues realize this as they are lined up to view it as well! 🙂

Once again, incredible photos. The Moai statues are outta this world. I really have to get there one of these days. The last photo with the horses is perfect…
Love the photos! It looks like a magical destination. And kudos on the Manu Chao video. I remember them from my time in Argentina 🙂
Gorgeous photos as usual Andi! I love the wild horses you captured, but like you said, the Moai statues are something of beauty and awe.
These pictures are amazing!! The Moai statues are just such a must see; along with many of the places in Chile. I’m so upset I missed out on Chile when I was down there. A good excuse to go back!
I literally gasped when seeing those pictures of the Moai lined up together. The rest of them left me breathless, particularly the wild horses. You’re so lucky to have had such an incredible experience, Andi.
A+++++
No doubt about it, you’re the coolest chic ever!
Absolutely stunning!!!
Andi, wow, what a life you have!
your site is great!!! 🙂
excellent post & pics wow!
Great blog! I am loving it!!! 🙂
I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading.
LOVE this!
Lo amoooooo!
