#cultural-connections

I've discovered in recent years that the best way to put a trip together is to combine a big, juicy city, ripe for exploration, with a refreshing countryside escape. You get the thrill of exploring a sprawling urban landscape for the first time. You gain the historical insights, get your dose of cultural stimulation and find the most energetic districts in town. You soak up the atmosphere and stack up the step count.

Easter Island was settled from central East Polynesia around AD 1200-1250. The Polynesians were skilled sailors so double canoes were used.
