Although it lacks a significant activity center and requires a lengthy, expensive flight from the mainland, Chile's Easter Island (annexed by Chile in 1888) is sparsely developed, has a small Polynesian population, and displays some of the world's strangest artifacts in a barren, volcanic landscape alongside a bizarre, apparently self-destructive history. You can see here the Easter Year Pictures of Chile's Easter Island and if you can afford it, this place is a must-see.
