More Tips for Chile

Olga: The next place?

Daniel: The next place would be well Santiago.

Olga: I don't really look forward to going to Santiago. I would rather go to some other place.

Daniel: OK then. Then if it's around like the center of the country, I would recommend you to go to Easter Island.

Olga: Oh, I've heard about it. The place where they have those big statues, right?

Daniel: Right. Do you know the names of them?

Olga: Actually no.

Daniel: OK. They're called Moai statues. Yes, and you can see them. If you take a plane from Santiago, it will take you around five hours and you can see the indigenous people. You can see the statues and if you're lucky you can stay in a house with an indigenous family.

Olga: Actually those families, do they speak Spanish?

Daniel: They do speak Spanish.

Olga: That's great.

Daniel: But they also speak their local language.

Olga: Maybe I can learn.

Daniel: Yeah. I think you can learn if you live like, if you stay with a family for a week.

Olga: It is thoroughly different from Spanish, right?

Daniel: It is. It's more close, it's more closer to the Polynesia.

Olga: I see. That's great.

Daniel: But it's really interesting and the island it's really beautiful and if you go in summer you can swim and it's going to be a really, really good time.

Olga: It's not expensive to go there, right?

Daniel: It's about five hundred dollars.

Olga: It's OK. Yeah, I can manage.

Daniel: You have to be careful though because the prices in the island are a bit more expensive than...

Olga: Yeah, they do that sometimes in Mexico too. Yeah, touristic places.

Daniel: Yeah. And if you want to go south, I can recommend you Patagonia.

Olga: Yeah, I heard it's really hard to go there. Is it?

Daniel: Well it's really hard to get there if you go on the Chilean part but if you go on the Argentinian part it's not that difficult.

Olga: Then I think we want to go there too.

Daniel: And it's beautiful because you have a lot of mountains, rivers, glaciers.

Olga: It sounds so romantic too.

Daniel: Yeah. It's good that you go with a boyfriend.
