I've gone to Easter Island twice and it is well worth spending $500 to see it.
Easter island is definitely worth it. We went two years ago when LAN was offering biz fares for under 1K from JFK to SCL and we were able to add the onward to IPC for a few bucks more. Stayed abour 2.5 days on the island and same amount in Santiago. We went in April, so don't know if that is the right time for sales. We pulled an award for the one way from IPC to SCL. We had 4 J awards, but we would have done y if that was all there was. Really interesting place.
