This period offers the warmest and sunniest weather, with average temperatures ideal for beach tourism, diving, and comfortably exploring the enigmatic Moáis and archaeological sites. It is important to know that from February to March is considered the high season, especially in February due to the Tapati Rapa Nui festival celebration, which implies a higher influx of tourists and higher prices for accommodation and flights, so it is vital to book in advance.
