The incredible Moai of Easter Island. These giant stone heads were located at "the Nursery", an extinct volcano that was used to carve all the Moai statues out of. From the nursery they were transported to every corner of the small volcanic island. #InStone

Moai with Rano Raraku volcano in the background.

What to say about this island full of mysteries, mysticism and unanswered questions? What could be said to define it completely? Something about the Moais, their orientation on the altars, the people who built them, the transportation used to take them to the altars? Or something about the rocks with magnetic properties? Or something about the altars with perfectly adjusted stones resembling those of Machu Pichu? Who knows anything about their writing, still totally undeciphered, Rongo-rongo? Its location, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, about 2000 km from any other piece of land?

Perhaps the best definition, for this island, is the one I read, I do not know where, nor written by who, saying that Easter Island is a place, far from everything and everyone, that somehow makes us closer to ourselves.

O que dizer desta ilha cheia de mistérios, misticismo e perguntas não respondidas? O que poderia ser dito que a definisse completamente? Algo sobre os Moais, a sua orientação sobre os altares, o povo que os construiu, o transporte utilizado para os levar até aos altares? Ou algo sobre as pedras com propriedades magnéticas? Ou ainda algo sobre os altares com pedras perfeitamente ajustadas lembrando as de Machu Pichu? Quem sabe algo sobre a escrita, ainda indecifrada totalmente, Rongo-rongo? A sua localização, no meio do Oceano Pacífico, a cerca de 2000 km de qualquer outro pedaço de terra? 

Talvez a melhor definição, para esta ilha, seja a que eu li, não sei aonde, nem escrita por quem, que dizia que a Ilha de Páscoa é um lugar, longe de tudo e de todos, que, de alguma forma, nos torna mais próximos de nós mesmos.
The Rano Kau crater is nearly a mile across and forms the southwestern tip of Easter island. The large crater lake is one of only three bodies of fresh water on the island. The inner slope of the crater was also the site of the last wild toromiro tree, an Easter Island endemic, until it was chopped down for firewood in 1960. Fortunately, Thor Heyerdahl's 1955 expedition collected toromiro seeds, from which trees have been grown and a project is underway to repopulate the island.

Uma das três casas de Pablo Neruda no Chile. Já tinha conhecido La Chascona, em Santiago, e La Sebastiana, em Valparaíso. Fica a cerca de 120 Km de Santiago. Esta casa fica de frente para o Pacífico e é um outro poema (não escrito) de Neruda. Este é o lugar para entender um pouco mais sobre ele. Neruda está enterrado aqui, junto com sua última esposa Matilde Urrutia.
