Easter Island’s capital and only urban presence, Hanga Roa, lies in a low lying area, on the southern stretch of the westerly coast of Rapa Nui. The village of 3,500+ inhabitants is a treasure trove for any tourist, and a pleasure to walk round. The town’s speed limits, as low as 30 kmph, make for a pleasant change in the pace of life.
The center of Hanga Roa is adorned with mature trees and all kinds of invading vegetation. Lacking those familiar rows of flowering border plants in geometric designs, the plaza in front of the municipal building appears a bit shabby. Although, this adds to the island’s windswept feeling.
