This tour starts with a tour of some of the main streets, neighborhoods, and palaces of the cities of Viña del Mar and Valparaiso. We will visit different areas of Viña del Mar which is also known as the Garden city. From there we will travel along to the port of Valparaiso, which is famous for its funiculars which transport you up into the hills from where there are spectacular views of the harbor and surrounding areas. By taking a walk on Concepcion Hill you will have the chance to discover its architecture, brightly-painted buildings and constantly changing views which make Valparaiso so special.
After lunch we will drive to Isla Negra, the tranquil family seaside resort where the famous Chilean poet and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Pablo Neruda, spent a significant part of his life. Of his many homes he always considered Isla Negra to be his favorite. This visit will take us into his house and we will be able to see his impressive collection of miniatures, boats, bottles, seashells and many more interesting objects that he collected on his travels around the world. Of Pablo Neruda's three houses, this has to be the most fascinating since he always had in mind to make this house a museum after he had passed away. His house was a place where he could relax with friends and pass away the hours talking about anything and everything. With the impressive views from almost every part of his house, it is easy to see how he got inspired for his writings
