It’s quite clear to me that Felipe wanted to create a situation in order to get a bribe from you. I can’t believe he lied about Kathy climbing the large stone. You guys handled the situation very well, with great manners.
Felipe is the alpha male who has the physical and psychological dominance over the TH-camr. He's the stronger, the commander, the one who sets things and takes whatever he wants from you. The TH-camr is no man, otherwise, he wouldn't have let a foreign guy touch him and insult his woman. That's so unmasculine, it takes testosterone away. Shame on the youtuber
@@kimifurstenberg3722 worship what? Manliness is common here 😂 no one worships normality or the rule. You Western Europeans and Americans are feminized individuals who can't fight back, and you should look at your own heroes in your monuments and realize how ashamed they would be of all of you 😂
The damage control methods like the “fake lawsuit”, “false injury” and “extortion” claims are proof enough that you shouldn’t visit here as they are completely out of touch with tourism and staff interactions with guests.

I would send this to the US Embassy so they are able to issue a warning for tourists at Easter Island. I would also send it to the Chilean Diplomat in Washington, DC. Warn everyone how dangerous it is to visit Easter Island.
I disagree, you will only make trouble for yourself and may be stopped, banned from a number of countries as a troublemaker. People don't care about the truth or what is right.
346 NYC definitely send this to the US Embassy and register your travels with the US department of state so they know where you’re traveling and can help you when you’re in a situation. It’s good that you posted this, thanks.
Your instincts and how quickly you can assess a situation and determine how to react is phenomenal. Suss’ing out he wanted to tear your tickets up and making the u-turn on the road saved a bad situation from turning into a very bad one. He was so confident about everything he did, so he’s done this before and knows he has plenty of backup.
First Philippe said she cross the line, now he's saying she climbed the statue and saying he was hit and had to go to the hospital. It's pretty obvious who's lying.
Corrupt officials, psychopath guard, and an isolated community willing to stand for the abuser.... This sounds like a pretty good psychological horror movie plot 😂
I'm not taking the other side that guard is a complete douche but it is extremely imature to be so obsessed with wanting a apology.. it ain't kindergarten and apologies do nothing but massage ones ego
Total scam, look how Felipe starts smiling once he finally has Christian pissed off enough to yell back, he was trying his hardest to get Christian to hit him and if that had happened they would of had him, guaranteed Felipe has done this before.
Yeah right, because if anything like this happen in North Korea, Saudi Arabia, even Canada or US, you wouldn't argue with the authority, you'll cooperate. Matt was argumentative from the very start, everything could be handled calmly.
@@darrenmarasigan5747 Agreed. I wonder if he starts filming the police officer when he asks him for his license and then doesn't give it to him too? They could've calmly shown him the ticket and the problem would be solved in 10 seconds. That's what you do in any natural park if guard asks you for a ticket...unless you really did something wrong and are afraid he will rip it...
@@myopinion2day Yes, and the ticket needs to be checked because not every ticket can be used in all parks, also, there are parks where you could visit only once per ticket, so the park ranger could very well just want to check if they are not there using invalid tickets.
Omg! I was there in 2002. There was no entry fee, there was no barrier stones. You could walk right up to the statutes. My experience was magical. Everyone was very friendly.
Damn I kept reading about Felipe on reviews and question sections on Google and I assumed it was a Karen situation but holy shit this is crazy! He should NOT work there... Or be in any public authority position
this is an old tactic...pressure you enough to be scared and offer him a healthy bribe. His boss probably told him to get your tickets so they can put you in jail for trespassing...all for a huge bribe!
@@humanmenot7080 No it's not. Stepping on the rock would be the same as leaning against a fence if they'd chosen that as their barrier. Feliepe flat out asked for money when they were walking back towards the gate.
Human Menot I agree on the line is kinda pushing it and being childish Just Because there is a line doesn’t mean you need to be on it But at the same time this Felipe guy is a crook
jerrys88 yes! A simple stern but calm “Miss, don’t step on the rocks, that’s not allowed, if you do it again I will ask you to leave the park and put a mark on your ticket for breaking the rules” that’s it! 🤷🏻♀️ People can be unnecessarily rude sometimes but his attitude tells me he’s either mentally unbalanced (what with all the lies afterwards) or he’s just part of a bigger tourist scamming practice in the island. Either way, that was scary! 😰
I was planning to go to Easter Island with a group of friends. After seeing the behavior of Felipe, we will not be going. I will be sure to pass this along to the leaders in the tourism industry. Keep up the good work Leblanc. Thank you.
Dont be a idiot... He could have easily showed him the tickets and been respectful. Hes in a foreign country and is on a cultural heritsge site.. Felipe was the park ranger. It doesnt matter. Respect authority. Especially when youre a tourist
@@youremybiggestfan what respect Felipe did ? To make it easier on them. He was just like a lion attacking them. He was on fire for his god stone protection maybe he thought god got hurt because she stepped on his head (Small Stone) boundary. Not much of a god if that is the case
Unfortunately these kind of places don’t award justice for right and wrong, the judge, the jailer, the police, the lawyers, the doctors too, there is no deep water, they are all family. Your frustration with lack of accountability is totally just, but don’t expect resolution.
@@iiAngelic they are running away from.him yet hes that arrogant and shit ..... i know what you mean , but for Christ sake do you know how much money they spent and time just to go there ... that place is one of the remote places on earth ... yet they have treatment like these .... did you watched the whole clip ,? .... just asking ...
RoomWithAView how can they just walk away when that ranger prevent them from leaving the area? Also it seems that Christian isnt the only one who experienced this kind of treatment. Read other comments. This island is being ruled by a “drug cartel like” group they called “community”, let this island suffer the consequence of 1 person’s act until they improve their practice.
@@iiAngelic bruh. did you miss the part where they tried to walk away and Felipe kept closing the gate and blocking their way and blocked their car door from closing? I mean holy hell, I think you're half as dumb as Felipe. Congrats, my dude.
@@southerndiscomfort2412 Exactly! This guy was the psycho one, Philepe works at the park, and this guy thought he was special and could do whatever he wanted. In a foreign country you are ON THEIR TURF. Smile, bow, just be kind, instead of acting like a two year old. What an embarassment for canada having this guy represent them
Who knew the Easter Island parks are run by some sort of a park mafia? I thought it was a place of peace and calm. Thanks for posting and sorry for your bad travel experience.
I haven’t felt this unsettled and upset because of a video in a very long time. Definitely enough for me not wanting to visit Easter island as long as people like them are in charge. All the best to you Kathy and you Christian to fight through this nonsense!
Joss and Janik But you can visit Chile anyway! 🇨🇱❤️ I’m Chilean and I’m sure that nobody in the country is like that. It’s just a problem of the Island! 😔😭 Please come 🇨🇱🏖⛰🏜
Human Menot but the question was why are you posting the same text which makes no sense? We all saw some brainless person named Felipe act as a fool. What's the point of your text?
This was my first thought after watching the video. When their tourism dollars start to tank on Easter Island I hope that realize why. Very unfortunate.... place was on my bucket list but not anymore....
looks like the whole dramatic experience dragged on for too long. thanks for sharing this experience- it gives us awareness that easter island could get unsafe.
Yeah just like Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, etc? I live in SEA since 2012, this happens every day. Tourists get scam, extort, bribe, etc, this is not uncommon. Yet no one is boycotting these countries.
Seems there are more people that suffered in their hands. See this review on Trip Advisor, even though it is in Spanish but very alarming. www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g316040-d318547-r573915475-Rapa_Nui_National_Park-Easter_Island.html
@@marlaponson8907 thank you for posting. Their experience is similar enough, to the incident in this video, to see there is a pattern. My retirement bucket list just got a little shorter.
Ok I will admit this was funny but honestly they (him and his wife) dealt with it totally in the wrong way. They could of apologized and even filmed that and showed the ticket at least if Felipe did indeed rip up the ticket (what he was afraid of) it would of been captured on camera instead he just fed into it and let the situation escalate. Being in a foreign land we must respect and know all the rules so stuff like this doesn't happen.
@@ralfnyberg3264 Did you even watch the video? The whole island is backing up the lies instead of taking him out of that position and making things right. It was about one guy, but the Island made it about everyone.
I did and the problem happens to be in the circles of one governmental history department. By boycotting the whole island, youd also harm the innocent inhabitants making their living on tourism, such as restaurants and hotel workers.
What I learned from this upsetting story, is that the well mannered doggie walking around, showed better behavior and was calmer than the pesky park guard, while watching how he was assaulting tourists visiting Easter Island. Thank you for posting this video, now I know what place in the planet not to visit!
You have to be Civil in other countries my dude. They will lock you up and throw away the keys and you will rot in a hole forever without anyone knowing. Shit's scary. Due process is a rouge in these countries.
WHAAATTTT!! He was in hospital!!! That's crazy.... severed bicep artery, he seemed perfectly fine and in full power when he slammed that car door on you! This is really scary when you are in a foreign country you want to feel safe, what a horrible experience for you both. I'm glad you have posted this video, very transparent and real.
@@miarena111 don't be ignorant, Felipe is Rapa Nui they are Polynesian not Hispanic like mainland Chileans. Do you or your entire country get blamed for the misbehavior of a Native American or first people? By the way its no secret the Rapa Nui are not friendly towards outsiders and its probably whats kept them from ending up like Native Hawaiians who live in poverty and on the streets in their own land.
I'm thinking, 'prick get the fuck off of me you can't hold me here.' Christian lives up to his name of being a mighty good man seeking truth in a world going mad corruptly operating on hatred, greed, and fear. He'd make a most kick ass lawyer or CEO with the kind of patience and critical thinking skills he exhibits.
Sorry you both had that horrific experience and thanks for sharing - I rely on videos like these to make educated decisions on where and how to travel. I spent a month in Southern Chile/Patagonia and had a great experience with park rangers and tourism industry. Doubling down instead of issuing a simple apology would've spared so many people unnecessary grief.
excuse me? he crossed the lien, he act arrogant and rude refusing to show the ticket and calling the park worker "crazy & "psychopath" for asking to show the tickets. So who shall apologize?
You were setup when they asked you if you wanted anything. Always decline this. A refund and apology is supportable, but the rest was done on purpose to put you in this position.
That's exactly what I was thinking!!! I personally would have been happy with the gift basket and statue... fuck an apology or expensive free extra experiences
@@dDbalL-to7rt Yeah, I thought the demanding of an apology was a little weird. They really don't seem to be very seasoned travelers. Stuff like that could get you killed in many parts of the world.
no, he wanted to do his job. There are people sell fake tickets. This is a wonder that many tourists do not respect. I have seen them run up and try to push the statues over
@@vitoferrara5876 he wanted to do his job????? You call physically assaulting a tourist just because he wanted to see their ticket to enter a park, just doing his job?? Get your head out of your ass! He was being a complete asshole and trying to steal his ticket, and the video EVIDENCE proves it. Stop being a troll......
I wanted to visit this place ever-since I was a little girl & my sister promised me that when we grow older we will visit this place. And it is about to happen because she promised me early this year that she will sponsor everything for me to get to this place next year, but changed my mind ill show this video to my sister & she will be so disappointed I will ask her we will visit Machu Picchu instead..
Comments in this video section will be mostly pro-LeBlanc. There are other sites that slam this dude, so if you want true sentiments, suggest you venture out of this one sided area and see what’s outside.
Notice how when the security guard gets physical, the dog calmly approaches him. If you were any threat to the security guard or tried to hurt him, the dog would have attacked you. So even the dog knows you guys were innocent!
UKNOWITSTRUE Calling someone a kid but talking like immature idiot doesn’t make yourself any better. Don’t be mad you won’t get any more tourism dollars
He actually said "I's name" ... In English that would be "my name". And I love the specificity of "like, 70 to 100 dollars ticket" - the ticket prices are very specific.
I turned off this video two hours ago. In my head I'm still hearing "I need your ticket. I'm not giving it to you. I need your ticket. I'm not giving it to you."
im so sorry this kind of situations have happened to you guys, that is very sad. I really hope that this can be attended by the authorities, this is going to affect them very serious
To this very day on Easter Island if you be very quiet and still.... you can hear the whispers of "I need your ticket" "I need youuuuur ticket" Felipe haunts the island
Are you serious man? How do you know they are telling the truth? If they had nothing to hide why wouldn't they cooperate and hand over the ticket or go the office to sort it out? I speak spanish and I can tell you Felipe's story makes sense to me. They probably did cross the line to get their edgy travel photos and then clearly hid the sd card. Why would the camera be empty after watching the sunrise there? I'm starting to loose hope here
@Charles Miner I don't think having to speak Spanish makes any sense. I can also understand Spanish and still tend to think that they most likely didn't do anything wrong. He wanted the ticket so that he could confiscate it. I thought that was pretty clear? That's why he didn't want to give it to them. To each their own opinion, but ya, I'll skip Easter Island.
@@CharlesMiner Even assume the tourists accidentally cross the line, what the ranger shall do is giving POLITE warning and most tourists will correct. Never see any rangers behave so rudely, aggressively and offensively to tourists. Felipe's behaviors were out of control and actually harassing tourists by using his ranger authority. Needless to say, those two hosts are nothing close to those crazy out of control tourists. Obviously, Felipe is the one acting out of control here.
@@CharlesMiner bullshit, this extortion happens all over South America. I've seen so many videos of similar incidents, or fake security demanding money or tickets to public access areas etc.
@@jamesmat That is a good tip. I have read about the place, will try to get there. Probably "only" there for 4 weeks. I might find a place and just STAY there so we will see what happens..
If you like adventure. I suggest go to Cebu and go to Badian. You will be walking in Cave and falls, and the best is that you will jump to a lot of cliffs. The highest are like 40 ft The water is blue. You will enjoy it.
If the park rangers on that island can do anything they want to the tourists without any consequences, that island is being run by gangsters. I would worry about my safety there.
I wrote to the Chilean Embassy here, asking them what they had done about this. I've not heard a word back, so can only assume they are happy with the idea that my tourist dollars will be going to other islands. Easter Island is well and truly off my bucket list. Well done, Felipe ... and thanks for saving me a lot of money and probably a couple of doses of jetlag.
Another month down the line, another month of silence. Clearly neither Chile nor Easter Island wants our money. Fair enough, each to their own and all that - after all you survived on that island really well without any outside help before, didn't you? Oh, hang on a minute..... Anyway, the Cook Islanders will be very pleased.
@@apu6216 You may be right. Although they might find life gets a bit difficult if they ever get independence from Chile and also suddenly find they have no tourists. Still, no longer my problem....
I have visited Easter Island 6 times throughout my life and I have always had great experiences that is why I have returned, first with my friends, then with my parents and then with my children and partner. It is one of my favorite places in the world.
This is really bad. These people need to be exposed. This could have been much worse. No one should go to this island until their problems get worked out. Don't get caught in the middle. Spend your time and money somewhere else.

I disagree, you will only make trouble for yourself and may be stopped, banned from a number of countries as a troublemaker. People don't care about the truth or what is right.
blahahahahahahahaha. might want to look up the history of the US and Chile.
346 NYC definitely send this to the US Embassy and register your travels with the US department of state so they know where you’re traveling and can help you when you’re in a situation. It’s good that you posted this, thanks.
346 NYC Serious Illegal Detention is what happened here. This is crime.
I think Christian AKA Lost LeBlanc is from Canada. So he is probably not going to report stuff to US Embassy.
Jesus, I speak Spanish too, this man is no listening a single thing, how anoying!
Good job for filming it, this is insane
Your instincts and how quickly you can assess a situation and determine how to react is phenomenal. Suss’ing out he wanted to tear your tickets up and making the u-turn on the road saved a bad situation from turning into a very bad one. He was so confident about everything he did, so he’s done this before and knows he has plenty of backup.
First Philippe said she cross the line, now he's saying she climbed the statue and saying he was hit and had to go to the hospital. It's pretty obvious who's lying.
Corrupt officials, psychopath guard, and an isolated community willing to stand for the abuser.... This sounds like a pretty good psychological horror movie plot 😂
Yeah they act about as honest as a drug cartel from Mexico
So it's Shutter Island 2?!
😂

This comment made me smile for awhile
🤣🤣🤣this is funny
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Felipe in prison: I need your ticket.
😂😂😂😂😂hell no
literally no one
Felipe while sleeping: I want your ticket.
it's teecket.
xDDDDDD
I'm not taking the other side that guard is a complete douche but it is extremely imature to be so obsessed with wanting a apology.. it ain't kindergarten and apologies do nothing but massage ones ego
Tickeeeeeeeeet please
Total scam, look how Felipe starts smiling once he finally has Christian pissed off enough to yell back, he was trying his hardest to get Christian to hit him and if that had happened they would of had him, guaranteed Felipe has done this before.
carl behrends I noticed that too!
Totally agree!
Yeah right, because if anything like this happen in North Korea, Saudi Arabia, even Canada or US, you wouldn't argue with the authority, you'll cooperate. Matt was argumentative from the very start, everything could be handled calmly.
@@darrenmarasigan5747 Agreed. I wonder if he starts filming the police officer when he asks him for his license and then doesn't give it to him too? They could've calmly shown him the ticket and the problem would be solved in 10 seconds. That's what you do in any natural park if guard asks you for a ticket...unless you really did something wrong and are afraid he will rip it...
@@myopinion2day Yes, and the ticket needs to be checked because not every ticket can be used in all parks, also, there are parks where you could visit only once per ticket, so the park ranger could very well just want to check if they are not there using invalid tickets.
And this is how Easter island comes off my bucket list. Such a corrupt management!
Omg! I was there in 2002. There was no entry fee, there was no barrier stones. You could walk right up to the statutes. My experience was magical. Everyone was very friendly.
They accidentally met the Scammer. So sad actually.
It probably changed after Chinese tourists vandalized egyptian Heiroglyphs i would imagine
Definitely feels like it is not a safe island at all, or at least until this guy Felipe is there. Easter Island is CANCELLED for me.
For me too.
@lorenz thurold Your comment sounds fake as fuck
all countries have this,its a bribe to go away.
This so called ranger has shown harassment on an aggressive scale. Lots of evidence here.
Yeah, Dummy Felipe had a THICK JACKET on and there's NO WAY Christian could have ever hurt him with his masculine hot bod :)
man god knows how many more people he did this to, i'm glad you recorded this
Damn I kept reading about Felipe on reviews and question sections on Google and I assumed it was a Karen situation but holy shit this is crazy! He should NOT work there... Or be in any public authority position
this is an old tactic...pressure you enough to be scared and offer him a healthy bribe. His boss probably told him to get your tickets so they can put you in jail for trespassing...all for a huge bribe!
On the line is inside of the barrier. It is a sign of disrespect.
BUT Felipe WAS a manipulating, aggressive dick
@@humanmenot7080 No it's not. Stepping on the rock would be the same as leaning against a fence if they'd chosen that as their barrier. Feliepe flat out asked for money when they were walking back towards the gate.

Just Because there is a line doesn’t mean you need to be on it
But at the same time this Felipe guy is a crook
“Señorita - favor de no pisar las piedras. Gracias.”
Acabado.
jerrys88 yes! A simple stern but calm “Miss, don’t step on the rocks, that’s not allowed, if you do it again I will ask you to leave the park and put a mark on your ticket for breaking the rules” that’s it! 🤷🏻♀️ People can be unnecessarily rude sometimes but his attitude tells me he’s either mentally unbalanced (what with all the lies afterwards) or he’s just part of a bigger tourist scamming practice in the island. Either way, that was scary! 😰
He is on a power trip. He is an Embarrassment to his country.

Dont be a idiot... He could have easily showed him the tickets and been respectful. Hes in a foreign country and is on a cultural heritsge site.. Felipe was the park ranger. It doesnt matter. Respect authority. Especially when youre a tourist

Unfortunately these kind of places don’t award justice for right and wrong, the judge, the jailer, the police, the lawyers, the doctors too, there is no deep water, they are all family. Your frustration with lack of accountability is totally just, but don’t expect resolution.

RoomWithAView how can they just walk away when that ranger prevent them from leaving the area? Also it seems that Christian isnt the only one who experienced this kind of treatment. Read other comments. This island is being ruled by a “drug cartel like” group they called “community”, let this island suffer the consequence of 1 person’s act until they improve their practice.

Who knew the Easter Island parks are run by some sort of a park mafia? I thought it was a place of peace and calm. Thanks for posting and sorry for your bad travel experience.
I haven’t felt this unsettled and upset because of a video in a very long time. Definitely enough for me not wanting to visit Easter island as long as people like them are in charge.

Can you imagine how much Felipe is going to cost the Easter Island community?
And worst, they are standing behind him...
Elian they won’t for long, once they realise how much money they’re loosing because of his actions. Money talks, even between “brothers”.
This was my first thought after watching the video. When their tourism dollars start to tank on Easter Island I hope that realize why. Very unfortunate.... place was on my bucket list but not anymore....
Avoid this shithole at all costs

So the park rangers of Easter Island are extorting and blackmailing tourists for money.
Severous j exactly
They don't seem to be good at it..
This is only one side of the story.

From now on Easter island will be called as Ticket island
LOL
TICKET ISLAND - THANKS, BUT NO THANKS. KEEP FELIPE AND CLAUDIO 🤣
Ok I will admit this was funny but honestly they (him and his wife) dealt with it totally in the wrong way. They could of apologized and even filmed that and showed the ticket at least if Felipe did indeed rip up the ticket (what he was afraid of) it would of been captured on camera instead he just fed into it and let the situation escalate. Being in a foreign land we must respect and know all the rules so stuff like this doesn't happen.
no it should be called Felipe's island. He is cute.
Mfatz ren NECESSITO SON TICKET!

/easter Island will be eliminated/
Same! Thor Heyerdal would turn in his grave! Sad!
Thats just pure stupidity, the place and country shouldnt be boycotted solely due to one misbehaving bloke
@@ralfnyberg3264 Did you even watch the video? The whole island is backing up the lies instead of taking him out of that position and making things right. It was about one guy, but the Island made it about everyone.
I did and the problem happens to be in the circles of one governmental history department. By boycotting the whole island, youd also harm the innocent inhabitants making their living on tourism, such as restaurants and hotel workers.
Eastern Island, not on my bucket list anymore.
what about Easter Island?
That's Exactly my thought on it. I will never Go to Chile or any of its territory.
I was planning to go there in June.
What I learned from this upsetting story, is that the well mannered doggie walking around, showed better behavior and was calmer than the pesky park guard, while watching how he was assaulting tourists visiting Easter Island. Thank you for posting this video, now I know what place in the planet not to visit!
He's so Canadian. Even after all that, he's like, "I am sorry sir. Have a good day!" lol
IKR! lmao such a nice guy xD

You have to be Civil in other countries my dude. They will lock you up and throw away the keys and you will rot in a hole forever without anyone knowing. Shit's scary. Due process is a rouge in these countries.
lol I've been watching Christian since he started on youtube. always been a nice guy. definitely very Canadian like lol
Well handled. Its clear you don't want this but tourism needs to take a hit on Easter Island for them to clean up their management internally

This video has my anxiety level at maximum levels I legit don’t understand how Christian stayed so calm. I’m having second hand rage
I was impressed he didn't raise his voice until he was being barred from leaving. He did the right thing.
He stayed calm because he was filming...He knew he had the advantage. By getting angry and aggressive he loses his position.
I know what You mean.....I would've punch him the moment he touched me.
And that’s Easter Island off the bucket list 👌

yes off the bucket list and so is the rest of that country. this is so enlightening
yup. never wanted to go te easter island but i did want to go to chile as a whole. damn, seems like a scam place.
Off the bucket list here too!
Our money is going anywhere, but Ticket Island.
WHAAATTTT!! He was in hospital!!! That's crazy.... severed bicep artery, he seemed perfectly fine and in full power when he slammed that car door on you! This is really scary when you are in a foreign country you want to feel safe, what a horrible experience for you both. I'm glad you have posted this video, very transparent and real.
There is no such thing as a "biceps artery", he probably means "biceps tendon" which he didn't hurt either
@@TheRedrob62 She probably meant to say "the artery that supplies the biceps", which would be the braquial artery.

to entire chile if you ask me
and he is so powerful for no one take any action against him. #FelipeforPresident😋
@@miarena111 don't be ignorant, Felipe is Rapa Nui they are Polynesian not Hispanic like mainland Chileans. Do you or your entire country get blamed for the misbehavior of a Native American or first people?

I'm thinking, 'prick get the fuck off of me you can't hold me here.' Christian lives up to his name of being a mighty good man seeking truth in a world going mad corruptly operating on hatred, greed, and fear. He'd make a most kick ass lawyer or CEO with the kind of patience and critical thinking skills he exhibits.
Lmao I'm not going now sad to say 😂
He sounds like a narcissist 😐 The entitlement too. You guys have solid evidence and clearly did nothing wrong. All the best

Sorry you both had that horrific experience and thanks for sharing - I rely on videos like these to make educated decisions on where and how to travel. I spent a month in Southern Chile/Patagonia and had a great experience with park rangers and tourism industry. Doubling down instead of issuing a simple apology would've spared so many people unnecessary grief.
excuse me? he crossed the lien, he act arrogant and rude refusing to show the ticket and calling the park worker "crazy & "psychopath" for asking to show the tickets. So who shall apologize?

Are you serious man? How do you know they are telling the truth? If they had nothing to hide why wouldn't they cooperate and hand over the ticket or go the office to sort it out? I speak spanish and I can tell you Felipe's story makes sense to me. They probably did cross the line to get their edgy travel photos and then clearly hid the sd card. Why would the camera be empty after watching the sunrise there? I'm starting to loose hope here
@Charles Miner I don't think having to speak Spanish makes any sense. I can also understand Spanish and still tend to think that they most likely didn't do anything wrong. He wanted the ticket so that he could confiscate it. I thought that was pretty clear? That's why he didn't want to give it to them. To each their own opinion, but ya, I'll skip Easter Island.
@@CharlesMiner Even assume the tourists accidentally cross the line, what the ranger shall do is giving POLITE warning and most tourists will correct. Never see any rangers behave so rudely, aggressively and offensively to tourists. Felipe's behaviors were out of control and actually harassing tourists by using his ranger authority. Needless to say, those two hosts are nothing close to those crazy out of control tourists. Obviously, Felipe is the one acting out of control here.
