Arriving through IPC puts you in Rapa Nui-Easter Island, and Rapa Nui-Easter Island is a destination of layered local history, working landscapes, weather, and enough overlooked detail to make a beige airport stop look like a failure of imagination. Skip the beige layover mentality: pay attention, behave like a guest, and leave enough room for the destination to dismantle whatever tidy plan survived baggage claim.
