LAN is again expanding its South American network, with daily flights to the remote and unique Galapagos Islands from September, 2010, and twice-weekly services from Lima, Peru, to the mystical Chilean territory of Easter Island, commencing in November.

Further south and later in the year, LAN Peru will commence twice-weekly flights from Lima to Easter Island, linking two of the most popular destinations in South America, and providing an exciting new itinerary option for tourists.

Easter Island is said to be the world’s most isolated inhabited island. It is estimated by archaeologists to have been discovered by Polynesian explorers in about 400AD, and is best known for its unique “moai” – the giant carved stone statues dotted around the island.

LAN already flies from the Chilean capital Santiago to Easter Island, and the new LAN Peru flights will enable travellers to continue from Easter Island to Peru, or to fly Lima – Easter Island – Santiago.
