Tough story to share Christian but you did the right thing by posting this video. These sort of experiences can be hard to overcome but don’t let these people bring you down. Actually, I think you’ve proved it here that you won’t let that happen. Keep doing what you love, and what we love watching.

@@cursay11 if you go to a museum in Paris, must you lay your finger on the FRAME of the MONALISA. I bet the guards in Paris will chop your finger off and the entire civilize world will not sympathize with you. Point is, you walk in some FRAGILE HISTORICAL SITE and you want to sit or stand on some demarcation line, because unlike tourist from Sweden or Switzerland, you forgot you are not so special and you do not have any right to lay your finger on Frida Kahlo painting or step on something no one from Germany or Denmark would step on, because they have common sense.
@Christopher Rod There seem to be a need for a trial by publicity. Why? They need the sympathy of the public? But if you look at the video, I'm sorry. But that sounded like some spoiled North American tourist having a drama queen moment. And in the end, is it fair, to put a video of the guard on social media. He asked for tickets... Imagine if this happened in Egypt, Malaysia or China.
Lesson learn : film everything, Don’t be aggressive. For me I will not go to Easter island , if the president of the community it’s a liar then most of them will be followed him Thank you so much for sharing this! Stay positive and keep travel!
I need to learn that too. I grew up in area where there are fights on the street always. If third time a person like Felipe does that to me, I might punch him in the face. But pretty sure I'll be in big trouble since that's not my place.
@@neilfpv Yes and then we will be watching a new episode of banged up abroad on national geographic. South America must be beautiful to see, but i cant with corruption same for most of europe for me. Scam City is an interesting series to watch. You are honestly more safer in South Africa
Oh dear - this community is way too untrustworthy and unsafe to ever visit. They create and believe their own lies and reality. They just can't see anyone else's viewpoint. That is a DANGEROUS group of people everyone should avoid forever . I was interested in visiting Easter Island. Not anymore having seen this video. Thanks for the warning. They have damaged themselves and their own livelihood by their own poor poor actions. So Sad. So bad. So Long. Never to see tourists again...
@@CollosalTrollge Most of Europe is corrupted? What world do you live in? Europe has its flaws, but in general it is way better organized than for example the US. A local norwegian is still in jail there for driving the wrong way in a one way street. He is in jail for attempt of murder. Beat that.
@@frankottopedersen8241 I should have been more specific and said most 51% , i dont consider scandinavia part of general west and east europe. From terrorist attacks and corruption which does exist its just that come countries are very good at hiding it. At least when you watch news or national geographic this is what i learn from it. The locals spot the tourists miles away and take swings however they want, ripping you off or just bad information. Im just saying its what i expeienced when i went to some countries, but as for Sweden / Denmark or Norway never had bad experience. Europe like most countries were different 25+ years ago.
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.
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 😂
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.
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! 😰
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.
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.
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
As a Chilean this is so embarrassing, I’m really sorry this happened to you. I visited Easter Island in April 2019, and during that time they had an issue among the two groups in the Island the parks were technically free entrance “ HOWEVER” at the park entrance you had the opposite group charging. I truly believe this guy wanted to destroy your ticket. I have heard of other people just trespassing during the time of the conflict in 2019 but they were never treated this way. Calling your girlfriend an idiot is unimaginable, he definitely wanted to fight you so glad you were clever enough to avoid it. Sadly locals are not very friendly, logically there were a few exceptions of nice islanders but the friendliest people were from the continent. I hope this goes away and I thank you for making this public.
@@bighawaiianpunch3534 They would ALL be dead by now, but for Peru and Chile - weren't they down from thousands to just 100 people at one point - all because their ancestors arrived on a fertile island and then did their best to deforest it and get rid of all the fertile land asap. They should be grateful for what little independence they have left - anything's better than being dead.
@@arthurpewtey are you dumb they died from European diseases stop lying to yourself they were murdered genetically just like Hawaiians there were almost 1 million Hawaiians when captain cook arrived in our islands in the 1700s guess what the population of Hawaiians went down to 24000 in the late 1800s to early 1900s cuz Europeans diseases not fertile land polynesians did not have strong immune systems we did not have diseases back then then foreigners brought them to us and killed us genetically cuz they couldn't fight us like men they were scared to fight us they'd get fucking beat down and cooked by a 7 foot tall Hawaiian
@@arthurpewtey the rapa nui from easter island are us Hawaiians cousins we both polynesians we are one people from Hawaii to samoa to newzealand to tahiti to tonga I can name a few and all had declining population from diseases brought and Europeans knew this yet they still decided to bring them to the next island after the next yet you want to justify they're actions? PA-LEASE !
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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
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?
@@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
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.
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.
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!
Corrupt officials, psychopath guard, and an isolated community willing to stand for the abuser.... This sounds like a pretty good psychological horror movie plot 😂
Omg I understand about your blood boiling. This man is power tripping and abusing his “ranger” status. Everything will be revealed in time. I’m glad you and Kathy are safe. ♥️
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
@@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.
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..
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.
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.
I hate people like this, bullying a couple that’s thousands of miles away from home and no one with them, just trying to have a fun time and they do this. If this can happen to them then it can happen to anyone going there and probably has many of times before, only difference is Christian has a voice that can be heard and a platform that can be seen by many others. I feel sorry for others that has been harassed by these bullies. I definitely won’t be going there anymore, until they face the consequences of their actions (losing tourists) and make a change in staffing and governance of the park.
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....
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
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.
@@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.
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.
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?
No more Easter Island on the bucket list, Felipe will be there asking: GIVE ME YOUR TICKET!! I think I heard him a million times and still echoing in my ears saying that phrase.
@Sofia Pereda-Zanni that stand of ''idles,"",is not original anyway,its a tourist farce,scam..that so called ranger,,needed to tell the history,real history,,not lie..
@Sofia Pereda-Zanni your not informed of history are,you,it was annexed to chile back in 30,s,around.you just planted a flag on it..like the u.s did with the moon,,it aint theres,either..you,need to look into history.not modern day propaganda.you imprisoned the inhabitants,took there land away,traditions,.you,are to blame,along with portugese/dutch,that shot them..so.fk off..
@Sofia Pereda-Zanni if your chilian,then your lied to.those moi are facing the wrong way,to begin with..they were re built,by you,not the inhabitants.as allways history goes to the victor..so,,you,,fuck off..
Pamela Bostwick - things like this happen in many third world countries and perhaps first world idk (havent heard of it there tho) but not to this scale where they spread it across the whole island or even country wtf.
Something worse happened to an American girl visiting Greece. A guard lied and said that she was in appropriately dressed at the Pantheon flashing her genitals to children, to which she was quickly locked in JAIL for!! The whole time they REFUSED to address her in english, fortunately for her, her boyfriend was fluent in Greek. Photos/Stories saved her life...don't know what ever came of that lying guard/attendant...
Easter Island is one of my "bucket list". After seeing the behavior of Felipe, I have to scratch that one out !!! . Keep up the good work Leblanc. Thank you.
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 was watching your vids as I fell asleep and I woke up to this video playing and hearing “I need the ticket” over and over in my sleep until I finally woke up. This was a nightmare experience for you but it was a literal nightmare for me. And I don’t mean this figuratively 😂 this dude really woke me up from a sound sleep
This is easy. Travelers warning: do not go to Easter Island. It’s a creepy community and you are likely to be assaulted by the authorities on the island if you break some unlisted mystery rule. Easter island is a no-go. Like this video. Tell your friends.
No it's not! Seriously guys, please don't say that. I am Chilean and I know Easter Island. I have travelled my whole life (more than 20 countries) and I would hate this beautiful Island to be shown as a terrible and scary place because of a bad experience. Yes the Islander was crazy, out of his place and totally deserves all the hate, but the rest of the islanders and the place has not done anything bad.
@@chilenaerrante a lot of us love to travel as well.... but if you really do care for your country's easter island... then report this to the authorities... We travelers don't have any power when we go to another country, even if we abide by the rules if a psychopath such as this guy comes to our path... what can we do???... imagine I and my mother going to Easter Island and being confronted by this sick man ---- what can we really do????? we are helpless. And as of now i have no plans of going to Easter island after this! A lot of people plan their vacations from TH-cam vids. That Felipe guy is beyond scary.
@@chilenaerrante i totally disagree with you. I also live in Chile and the youtube channel owener is not the only person with problems on that island. I also had problems with many indigenous people in Chile. People on that island are crazy psychopaths and they don't deserve any tourists.
@@chilenaerrante Nobody hates FELIPE, but it Seems that Felipe is the One who hates foreigners, and he gets Supported by other locals. I read other comments that say for Americans to Stay Away that they don't Need Americans Dollars. A lot of people Confuse CANADIANS with Americans, CHRISTIAN the guy on this Video is CANADIAN, not American. So, Not everybody that Speaks English is American, so Chileans must have a Big Sign on the Park that will Say "AMERICANS ARE NOT ALLOWED" and deny Entrance to Americans and that way Felipe will Not get stressed out thinking their Visitors are Americans and He Can Relax.
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....
@@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.
Seems like he's been practicing "I need your ticket" every morning to hype him self up. I will go over there and and give him all my parking ticket's. Lol

Your instincts and how quickly you can assess a situation and determine how to react is phenomenal.

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.
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.

all countries have this,its a bribe to go away.

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.
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
“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! 😰
And this is how Easter island comes off my bucket list. Such a corrupt management!
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.
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
Legend says that Felipe has PTSD and is still asking for the ticket in his sleep
LOL LOL LOL
*necesito tu ticket*
man god knows how many more people he did this to, i'm glad you recorded this
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
As a Chilean this is so embarrassing, I’m really sorry this happened to you. I visited Easter Island in April 2019, and during that time they had an issue among the two groups in the Island the parks were technically free entrance “ HOWEVER” at the park entrance you had the opposite group charging. I truly believe this guy wanted to destroy your ticket. I have heard of other people just trespassing during the time of the conflict in 2019 but they were never treated this way. Calling your girlfriend an idiot is unimaginable, he definitely wanted to fight you so glad you were clever enough to avoid it. Sadly locals are not very friendly, logically there were a few exceptions of nice islanders but the friendliest people were from the continent. I hope this goes away and I thank you for making this public.
Chilean ain't rapa nui🤣 you have no claim to Easter island that's polynesian land
@@bighawaiianpunch3534 They would ALL be dead by now, but for Peru and Chile - weren't they down from thousands to just 100 people at one point - all because their ancestors arrived on a fertile island and then did their best to deforest it and get rid of all the fertile land asap. They should be grateful for what little independence they have left - anything's better than being dead.
@@arthurpewtey are you dumb they died from European diseases stop lying to yourself they were murdered genetically just like Hawaiians there were almost 1 million Hawaiians when captain cook arrived in our islands in the 1700s guess what the population of Hawaiians went down to 24000 in the late 1800s to early 1900s cuz Europeans diseases not fertile land polynesians did not have strong immune systems we did not have diseases back then then foreigners brought them to us and killed us genetically cuz they couldn't fight us like men they were scared to fight us they'd get fucking beat down and cooked by a 7 foot tall Hawaiian
@@arthurpewtey the rapa nui from easter island are us Hawaiians cousins we both polynesians we are one people from Hawaii to samoa to newzealand to tahiti to tonga I can name a few and all had declining population from diseases brought and Europeans knew this yet they still decided to bring them to the next island after the next yet you want to justify they're actions? PA-LEASE !
Can you not think of a few reasons why the locals aren't 'friendly' ?? I think it's pretty obvious and the natives don't owe ANYONE their hospitality.
The staff in that island is So RUDE!!!
My relatives traveled over there last year and said it was the worst travel ever
Should've come to visit Peru's ancient ruins :D
Sure
They hate rules too
I have a lot horror stories about visiting Easter Island.
What happened?
WHat happened
Legend says he's still asking for the ticket .
Rejoy John looooooooooooool
Hahhahahahahahhaha
Ahahaha...
He talks in his sleep "i need your ticket"
buahaha
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.
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.
Wow. I was literally just tossing up between Easter Island and French Polynesia.... This made the decision easy.
French Polynesia wins hands down - one of the most beautiful spots on earth and the people are soo warm and friendly! ☺️
Alex A in your next trip I recommend you to come to Perú and visit Machu Picchu
Definitely French Polynesia!!!!
French Polynesia, you will have great memories there. It’s by far our best vacation experience.

Soon they will change the name to "weneedtoseesomeone island"
Hahahaha
This comment made me smile for awhile
🤣🤣🤣this is funny

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
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.
crossing out EASTER ISLAND on my bucket list. let that island preserve their heritage by closing their doors to tourist.
Don’t let one persons bad experience ruin it for you. They are both tourists and should have just walked away but kept arguing with him.

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.

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.
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..
same here. lost interest. it appears to be a cult island.
Yes Machu Picchu is amazing! Also try to go Titicaca Lake in Puno.
Good alternative...probably cheaper to go to Peru...
You are welcome in Perú!
In Machu Picchu they'll also ask you for a ticket, but at least it will be in a kind way 😂

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”.

And as of now i have no plans of going to Easter island after this! A lot of people plan their vacations from TH-cam vids. That Felipe guy is beyond scary.
@@chilenaerrante i totally disagree with you. I also live in Chile and the youtube channel owener is not the only person with problems on that island. I also had problems with many indigenous people in Chile. People on that island are crazy psychopaths and they don't deserve any tourists.
@@chilenaerrante Nobody hates FELIPE, but it Seems that Felipe is the One who hates foreigners, and he gets Supported by other locals.
I read other comments that say for Americans to Stay Away that they don't Need Americans Dollars. A lot of people Confuse CANADIANS with Americans, CHRISTIAN the guy on this Video is CANADIAN, not American. So, Not everybody that Speaks English is American, so Chileans must have a Big Sign on the Park that will Say "AMERICANS ARE NOT ALLOWED" and deny Entrance to Americans and that way Felipe will Not get stressed out thinking their Visitors are Americans and He Can Relax.
Felipe has a future with the TSA!

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.
I do not think the people want tourists anyway. So, they won't care that you don't want to go.
@@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....
@@arthurpewtey I'm sure they'd go on their merry way and live on like their ancestors did
@@arthurpewtey nobody cares about you 1k dude, get the f out.
I am glad I just 5 minutes ago bought a planeticket to the PHILIPPINES and not Easter Island!!!
Sandven Explorer cool! Visit Palawan! It is incredible there 👍
@@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.
Experience ilocos north. Its more fun
Its more in philas more freindly peoplw
Seems like he's been practicing "I need your ticket" every morning to hype him self up. I will go over there and and give him all my parking ticket's. Lol
When I saw Christian's extraordinary patience and restraint, and thought no way this guy is not Canadian. Sure enough...
That was then 2019, this is now 2021. I was planning a vacation visit to Easter Island. Thank you for your information.
he will need the ticket so make sure to get two LOL
I could understand if he just said “hey, please don’t stand on the barrier” and let it be, but this does seem to go ridiculously far. Wow! 😨
yes..and he was so thug like and smug about it.
yes you've explained my point properly thank you lol bilingual issues made christian misunderstand me :-(
Checkout my new music video guys ✌🏽

Sullivan Tan noo not like this. the way they speak to him
@@robdeniro747 lol
robdeniro747 lol 😂 😂😂
@@robdeniro747 damn it out of range too
What a sad, sad little man on his little island, literally and figuratively.
*This is why I will never ever visit Easter Island, my gf and I were planning to visit summer of 2020. Not any more!*
Fliepe is pretty tall for a chilein
It’s sad, but good to know, that even the conversation Claudio needs to be filmed as well.
