Easter Island, Chile
Until you visit Easter Island, it is difficult to grasp just how remote it is. By some measures, it is the most isolated permanently inhabited place on earth. Driving through the uninhabited countryside you suddenly see giant stone heads sticking up from the ground. It´s a WAW! Unreal.
