A friend went to Chile and Easter Island a while back, and she said it was really cool, they stayed on the island with some local villagers and I guess worked the farm as part of the deal. A the end of their stay, they went to a big community dinner of traditional foods and the whole experience was very non-commercial, non-touristy. All the kids in the village carved little wooden Moais, and she bought a ton of them, and gave one to everyone at work.
