When to go


Except for climatological anomalies, the weather is pleasant for most of the year with the high season coinciding with the hottest summer months in the Southern Hemisphere, December to March when the temperature goes from 18º to 26º. The tourist season runs from January to March. At this time, booking accommodation is more complicated and prices skyrocket. It's even worse during the Tapati Rapa Nui festival.

The coldest months are July and August (between 22nd and 14th), the wettest are May and June.
