Donde las piedras tienen nombre propio y cada palmera esconde mil historias
The moai replica is located at Prat Pier in the Port District and is free to access 24 hours a day. To get there, you can use public transportation (city bus) to Sotomayor Square, or take a taxi. More details: Valparaíso Municipality.
No, the visit is completely free since it is in a public space. You can come freely to take photos and admire this heritage sculpture at no cost.
It is a short visit of 15 to 30 minutes at most, since it mainly consists of admiring the moai replica and taking photographs with the port in the background. It is ideal to combine it with other attractions on the pier.
It was donated in 2007 by Easter Island to strengthen cultural ties. It is an authentic replica of the original moai, made from volcanic stone and carved by Rapa Nui artisans, so it has historical and symbolic value.
We recommend going in the morning (9:00-11:00) or at sunset to avoid the fog that is common after midday. Clear days offer the best views of the port with the sculpture.
Prat Pier has access ramps and regular pavement. However, there is no special signage or nearby rest areas. For specific details, contact: +56 32 293 9300 (Municipal Tourist Office).
In the Port District you can see: - Baburizza Museum (10 minutes on foot)- Artillería Funicular (450 m)- Neruda's La Sebastiana (15 minutes by car)- Sotomayor Square and the Monument to the Heroes of Iquique.
Bring warm clothing because of the port wind, sunscreen even on cloudy days, and comfortable shoes. We recommend taking the Valparaíso Free Walking Tour, which includes this stop.
