People who need to go to the furthest place. The moai at Ahu Tongariki at sunrise with the Pacific behind them is one of the great sights on earth. The diving is world-class — visibility of 60 metres and submerged moai. Chilean territory with peso prices. The isolation is absolute and the sky at night has no light pollution whatsoever.
Easter Island is 3,700km from the nearest continental landmass. The nearest inhabited island is 2,075km away. The moai — the giant stone heads — are real and extraordinary and were carved by a civilisation that then largely destroyed itself through deforestation and resource depletion. The parallels with contemporary civilisation are left as an exercise for the visitor.
Binary signals — not scores.

Rent a bicycle or scooter — the island is 24km long and all the main sites are accessible without a tour. Ahu Akivi is the only moai site where the statues face the ocean — everywhere else they face inland. The archaeological museum is small but excellent. The Tapati festival in February is the most extraordinary cultural event in the Pacific.
These are the numbers. But numbers don't move to a new city — you do.
