there is more to getting to know about it, you should enjoy it!


Explanation:
Chile's Isla de Pascua or Rapa Noi is the site of the famous moai, monumental ancient statues. People try to find explanations for the forms and location of said tourist attractions. Thus archeolocy prevails over pure traditional tourism, and that is what is referred to in the source term

This is either the document Andrea is translating, or one that's very similar.

Dejaremos atrás el norte chileno para volar a Rapa Nui, más conocida como la Isla de Pascua, considerada el mayor monumento al aire libre del mundo por la abundante presencia de Moais. Estas estatuas monumentales de piedra volcánica, que posiblemente representan ancestros deificados, constituyen la mayor atracción de la isla. Numerosas son las teorías que existen acerca del origen de la isla, manteniendo vivo el misterio. **Pero a Rapa Nui más que entenderla, hay que disfrutarla.** El ambiente de tranquilidad y relax que se respira en todos sus rincones, la convierten en un sitio ideal para el descanso y el contacto con la naturaleza.
