Hi, Thinking about doing Easter Island on my own, as a single destination trip....LAN flights through Lima, Peru rather than Santiago...wondering about exchanging US Dollars to Pesos before I get there as I have read ATMs are not always working on Easter Island. Mot advise exchanging money in Santiago, but I won't be going through there.

Also trying to figure out where to stay and how long to allow for a decent visit. Considering staying at Hare Swiss (great Trip Advisor reviews), but it is out of town a bit. Not sure if that will really be an issue. Since Easter Island is my only destination this trip, I have flexibility on dates (thinking August 15-19 due to airfares). Wanting to keep budget reasonable. Any feedback welcome.

There is no more LAN. It is called LATAM now.

Also, don't all flights to Easter Island go through Santiago anyways?

Hello, curious how your trip went. I am considering the same thing and would be going solo. How did you get around to see the island? I was considering getting the flight and then hiring a guide or booking a 2-4 day tour from there so I can have someone to take me around.

Any information would be helpful. Thinking August of next year.
