When to go
Notwithstanding the fact that you can go to Easter Island all year round because it has a good climate, the best time is the austral summer, from
December to March, since it is the warmest and sunniest period of the year. The heat is usually bearable, also because it's tempered by sea breezes. There is a moderate amount of showers in the afternoon or evening, which are usually short-lived, but sometimes can be violent.
What to pack
In
winter (June to August): bring clothes for spring and autumn, a sweatshirt or sweater and a jacket for the evening, and a raincoat or umbrella.
In
summer (December to February): bring light clothing, a sweatshirt for the evening, and an umbrella or a light raincoat.
