Argentina, Chile and Tahiti French Polynesia – Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile, Easter Islands, Rangiroa, Papeete and Bora Bora

This trip was my longest and toughest ever. I flew Frankfurt – Buenos Aires – Santiago de Chile – Easter Islands – Papeete – Rangiroa/Bora Bora and back. I always prefer the way via South America to the South Pacific, despite Santiago de Chile and the Easter Islands are a bottleneck by LAN Chile. Otherwise Frankfurt – Tokyo – Australia is my second option.
