1. The Easter Island is a Chilean island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. The island is far 3.686 kilometres from Chile and the best and cheapest way of getting to there is by plane. With a three and half-hour-flight you can arrive in Mataveri Airport from Santiago.
2. However, the Easter Island isn't the only one remote inhabited place in the world, but you can visit also:
- Pitcairn Island are a group of four volcanic islands in the southern Pacific Ocean that form the last British Overseas Territory in the South Pacific. You can get there by boat or ship from Mangareva (in French Polynesia) because the islands doesn't have an airport. Sometimes it is impossible to go down on the island because the sea is too rough;
- Galapagos Islands, part of the Republic of Ecuador, are an archipelago of volcanic islands distributed on either side of the equator in the Pacific Ocean. Only two islands (Balta and San Cristobal) are reachable by plane in about two hours from Quito (in Ecuador) and then you can move in the achipelago by ship;
- Faroe Islands is a North Atlantic archipelago located 320 kilometres north-northwest of Scotland, about halfway between Norway and Iceland. The islands are an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark. You can get there easily by plane from Denmark, England, Iceland and Norway. The only one airport, Vagar, is far 56 kilometres from Thorshavn, the capital city on the Streymoy Island;
- Andaman Islands form an archipelago in the Bay of Bengal between India, to the west, and Myanmar, to the north and east and are composed by about 500 islands. Most are part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands Union Territory of India, while a small number in the north of the archipelago, including the Coco Islands, belong to Myanmar. You can get to only about ten islands in five hours and the only commercial airport in the achipelago is Veer Savarkar in Port Blair, which has scheduled services to India;
- Tristan de Cunha is both a remote group of volcanic islands in the south Atlantic Ocean and the main island of that group. It is part of the British overseas territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. It is the most remote inhabited archipelago in the world and you can get there only by ship. Every five weeks a ship with food supplies leaves for the archipelago from Cape Town and takes seven days of navigation.
3. After this net search I would like to visit Galapagos Islands because there the uncontaminated nature is the main protagonist. In the archipelago there are marine species that don't exist anywhere else. You can see the giant turtles that give the spanish name of Galapos to the islands. They are also easily reachable by plane from the continent in only two hours.
