On Rapa Nui, the moai “came alive” only when coral-and-obsidian eyes were set in place—turning carved stone into guardians watching over their people. In this immersive audio tour, Jackie takes you across Easter Island’s windswept platforms, quarries, and coastal vistas to decode the moai: what they meant, how they were moved, and why most face inland. You’ll hear field recordings from the trail, learn why an official guide is essential for 90% of the National Park, and stand (sonically) before Ahu Akivi’s seven moai aligned with the spring equinox and Orion’s Belt. Plus, practical trip tips (plan on 3–4 nights) and a listener perk: 5% off a custom Chile/Argentina itinerary with Eco Chile when you mention JUMP. Don’t miss part two (Ep. 196) for Jackie’s most jaw-dropping find on the island.
