Rapa Nui National Park

Rapa Nui National Park encompasses most of Easter Island, a remote Polynesian territory in the southeastern Pacific Ocean belonging to Chile. The park protects one of the world's most remarkable archaeological landscapes, featuring 887 monumental stone statues called moai that were carved by the Rapa Nui people between 300 and 1200 AD. The island forms the eastern geographic and cultural boundary of Polynesia and is among the most isolated inhabited places on Earth, situated roughly 3,700 kilometers west of Chile and 2,200 kilometers east of Pitcairn Island. In 1995, UNESCO designated the park a World Heritage Site under cultural criteria recognizing its extraordinary artistic achievement, its cultural significance, and its harmonious relationship between human community and landscape. The park is now administered by the Ma'u Henua Indigenous Community, representing the first autonomous indigenous management of a Chilean protected area.
