The isolated island, known for its stone sentinels, is attracting more visitors. The quiet is an attraction, plus maybe the horses in the streets.
Easter Island is known for its towering stone statues, or moai. Representing deified ancestors, they are 6 1/2 to 30 feet tall and weigh as much as 270 tons. These, at the Ahu Akivi site, are the only set located away from the ocean and the only ones faced toward the sea. (Dan Falk)
