Why Go Now: Easter Island

Easter Island, which lies equidistant between the coasts of Chile and Tahiti in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, is shrouded in mysteries, making it an incredible destination for cultural travelers. Indagare’s Amelia Osborne recently visited and writes, “the place and its mystical elements stay with you long after returning home.” Read Amelia’s dispatch on how to map out an itinerary to one of the world’s most remote, uninhabited places, including where to stay and what to see, as well as what to know about those famed—and utterly breathtaking—stone heads. Read: Just Back From… Easter Island.

3-Day Itinerary: Singapore

Long treated as southeast Asia’s stepchild—overachieving, handsome and trying too hard—Singapore is often portrayed as a flyover destination. But considering what an extraordinary gateway the city is Singapore is perfect for a more extensive layover, both pre- and post-trip. Indagare’s Simone Girner recently spent three days in the city, exploring its legendary food scene, best activities and top hotels, from the grand elegance of the Raffles to the resort setting of the Capella Sentosa. Read: Singapore Layover.

Iconic U.S.: Grand Canyon

Our Bookings Team is often asked how to map out an itinerary that includes the Grand Canyon. Perhaps America’s most iconic destination—and one of the Seven Wonder of the World—the Canyon proves a logistical challenge due to the dearth of high-end accommodations, requiring visitors to think creatively. The good news is that because there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, travelers can customize their ideal journey, from endurance hiking to road tripping (we recently helped a family draw up an incredible Harley-Davidson motorcycle adventure throughout the southwest). Read about three ways to visit and contact our Bookings Team for help with your next trip: Grand Canyon Itineraries.

Reading on the Road: Indagare Book & Film Lists

When an Indagare member recently emailed us about her upcoming trip to Myanmar, her first question was: What do I read before I go? Delving into the stories of a place—both fictive and real—is one of the great anticipatory pleasures of a journey. It’s a way to prepare but also to deepen our immersion in the place. A well-culled reading and viewing list includes some classics, two or three great novels and a selection of current non-fiction. Together, the titles should bring the country or city you’re about to tour into focus—and the best will stay with you during the trip. All of Indagare’s destination reports include recommendations in our Library sections. Recent additions include Myanmar, Easter Island, Cuba, Russia and Berlin. For many more, visit: Library.
