Rapa Nui, aka Easter Island, reopens to travelers

The Chilean island of Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, this month reopened to travelers for the first time since the start of the pandemic, welcoming the first 230 tourists after nearly 900 days of being closed to tourism.

Tourists who visit the island must present a documented negative COVID-19 PCR test taken no more than 24 hours before heading to the island. Children under 6 can take an antigen test instead. Travelers must also have their Mobility Pass, which proves full vaccination.

Travelers arriving directly from another country must also take an antigen test upon arrival in Rapa Nui.
