The flight was at 1:20 am from Lima. 6 hours went quickly, they served good meal and I've watched a movie and slept a little bit.
It was dark when we landed on Easter Island. Before the immigration control there is a possibility to buy a ticket to Orongo and Rano Raraku. The rest of attractions is for free. The ticket costs $50 at the airport. If you want to buy it while entering the sites it will cost $30 each. We bought the ticket at the airport. I visited all places. In my opinion, Orongo has nothing to offer as the same houses I found in others places.
At the airport were few people offering accommodation. The cheapest option was camping. There are two of them and the price is the same. We stayed in Tipanie Moana. A nice owner, unfortunately, it is close to the airport but far away from the town and in the early morning rosters make so much noise you cannot sleep.
It is good to ask if there are any others costs involved like wi-fi, battery charging, and so on.
In the church is an interesting mass at 9 am with catholic songs in a local language (Rapa Nui).
After the mass we went to Orongo. The way uphill was picturesque and we enjoyed it. Close to this place is a crater with a lake inside. It's worth viewing. In my opinion, Orongo wasn't worth $25. There were houses where the native people used to live in. Also the Birdman Ceremony took place in this village.
On the way back we saw the first Moai. In the port we observed how they caused the ship.
We watch few figures close to the town and went to the campsite as we were really tired.
