Easter Island - Rapa Nui

Easter Island or Rapa Nui is a Chilean island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, at the southeasternmost point of the Polynesian Triangle. Easter Island is famous for its 887 extant monumental statues, called moai, created by the early Rapa Nui people. In 1995, UNESCO named Easter Island a World Heritage Site, with much of the island protected within Rapa Nui National Park. On this postcard you can see woman in Rapa Nui costume during Tapati festival.

Stamps are from set of eight stamps Valparaiso - World Heritage, issued on 12.07.2010.


Thank you Fernando!
