CoZzMiX Travels - Hanga Roa

I know everyone probably wants to see Moai, but when I was coming to Easter Island (Rapa Nui) I was surprised at how little information was available about Hanga Roa the islands tiny capital, so I decided to devote a cozzmix Travels video to this the only town on the Island. It may be very small and isolated but Hanga Roa is a friendly civilized place with a very low crime rate, the sort of place where you can let your kids go out to play without worrying weather or not they will come back. While everything has to be flown in from Santiago and the verity of goods available in the shops is limited there is everything you need, plus a few luxury items. Don't come here if you are looking for 5star luxury- there are no hotels above 3star, however there are some wonderful bed and breakfast type establishments which are usually family run. Its not a party place but there are a few places where you can dance the night away to a mix of local music and international favorites -- they are frequented mainly by locals of all ages but visitors are always made to feel very welcome. Although the main industry is tourism only a handful of people make it to this remote Island and the place never feels anything like crowded. If you ever come to Easter Island this is where your accommodation will be, there is no where else. So lets take a tour of Hanga Roa...
