Easter Island, Chile, the world's most remote inhabited island located in the South Pacific Ocean, is a photographer's dream. Famous for its large stone Moai statues, the island is filled with mystery and history. You will venture into the natural wonder of a volcanic crater and lava-made caves; and encounter the pride and heritage of the local Rapa Nui people. We will also experiment with a variety of night photography, capturing incredible stars with light-painted Moai. Immerse yourself in this brand-new program on this tranquil and mystical island.

Patagonia, Chile, the southernmost tip of the world, is the ideal place for photography. In every corner, you'll find an unimaginable landscape and with every passing minute, you will see dramatic changes of color and light. This workshop will take us to the rugged mountains, gigantic glaciers and crystal clear volcanic lakes of Patagonia where we will also encounter iconic local figures, the gauchos, riding horses on the vast prairie.

This program is possible through a collaboration between Photographer Katsuyoshi Tanaka (www.katsutanaka.com), Nikon, and explora (www.explora.com), the 5 star resort group in Chile.

This once in a lifetime experience will provide you with the opportunity to capture amazing images. The program is designed for photographers of all skills and experience-anyone who has passion for photography, nature and adventure.

Our journey is not only with photography and adventure. It is also with absolute comfort and luxury. Our daily base is 5 star resort, explora. Astonishing nature surrounds both lodges in Easter Island and Patagonia.

explora Rapa Nui in Easter Island is located on a tranquil spot from which the island�s mysteries and dramatic isolation are in full view. Its award winning architecture blends the island's unique geography and heritage, with a vibrant present.� Explora Patagonia is located at the center of the Torres del Paine National Park, the heart of Patagonia, on the shores of Lake Peho�. The massive mountains of Paine are right in front of you.
