Easter Island
Stone giants standing with their backs to the sea for reasons nobody fully agrees on, a volcano crater lake in the middle of the island, and a sense of remoteness that no photograph quite prepares you for.
The best time to visit Easter Island is Nov–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 19°C (66°F). Local time there is 02:56 (UTC-5).
