Easter Islands - November 2012

The second alumni trip will take its attendants to Chili and Easter Island in November. In 17 days the travellers will get to see everything ranging from the Atacama desert in the north of Chili to Easter Island and the vibrant city of Santiago. In Chili they will get to enjoy colourful rocky landscapes with wondrous forms, volcanos, salt lakes, the sand dunes of the Atacama desert, the impressive El Tatio geysers and the Chaxa Lagoon. Furthermore, a trip will be made to one of the world’s largest observatories (ESO) with enormous telescopes in an impressive moon landscape. Also, the Easter Island will be explored as well as its mystical Moai’s and intriguing religious centres. All of this will take place under the guidance of Prof. dr. Jan Boersma, biologist and theologist, who will share with the participants the turbulent history of the island.
