Easter Island, or Rapa Nui as it is known in the native language, is an island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. It is famous for its mysterious and iconic stone statues called moai. Although Easter Island is not considered a city, its main settlement is Hanga Roa, which is located on the island's western coast. Hanga Roa serves as the administrative center and the most populous area on Easter Island, with a population of around 7,000 people. It is the only town on the island, and it offers various amenities for tourists, including hotels, restaurants, and shops. Hanga Roa is also home to several important archaeological sites, including the Ahu Tahai and the Rano Raraku quarry, where the moai were carved.
