Chile

Travel Video | Easter Island

A long contemplative video with long sequences that will (I hope) bring you the spirit of this mysterious island. I wanted it to be like if you was just there, watching the landscapes and the famous Moai statues. I traveled there in June 2015.

Easter Island is famous for its 887 extant monumental statues, called Moai, created by the early Rapa Nui people.

Puerto Natales

Fishing boats

It is in this quiet little harbor with colourful wooden houses (nice photography subjects) that really begins the discovery of the wild Chilean Patagonia.

I arrived in Punta Arenas on a typical Patagonian windy day. Just prior our landing I saw from my window a small island with only what I believed to be a church on top of it. I took a few pictures. Little I knew it was in fact La Isla Magdalena. The island is the breeding location for several species of seabirds, most notably the Magellanic penguin.
