Chile’s Easter Island reopens to tourists after 2-year pandemic lockdown

Easter Island, about 2,000 kilometers from the coast of Chile, reopened its borders on Monday to welcome back all tourists after a pandemic lockdown of two years.

It is one of those mysterious destinations that tourists and travelers wish to visit someday, a dream that had become impossible since the first Covid-19 case was detected in March 2020 and the Chilean health ministry declared a complete lockdown on the island.
