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 favourite. This visit will take us into his house on the island and we will be able to see his impressive collection of miniatures, boats, ships, seashells and many more interesting objects. This was a place where he could relax with friends and pass away the hours talking about anything and everything.
