Hanga Roa, Administrative center of Easter Island, Chile
Hanga Roa stretches along the western coast of Easter Island between the extinct volcanoes Terevaka and Rano Kau at 41 meters above sea level.
The establishment of modern Hanga Roa commenced on September 9, 1888, when Chile incorporated Easter Island into its national territory through annexation.
The Tapati Rapa Nui festival in February brings together residents through traditional competitions, music performances, and artistic demonstrations at various locations throughout the town.
Mataveri International Airport connects Hanga Roa with Santiago through regular flights, while the town provides accommodation options from basic lodging to high-end resorts.
The town contains 95 percent of Easter Island's population, with 7,322 inhabitants living near the archaeological sites and traditional ceremonial grounds.
