We learned an important lesson when visiting Pablo Neruda’s beach house, Isla Negra, about an hour south of Vina del Mar: Museums in Chile are closed on Mondays! But we were still able to get this glimpse of Neruda’s home where he wrote many of his most famous poems.
Instead of touring the inside of his house, we were able to explore the vista that inspired Neruda. The thunderous crash of the waves on the sea of gray rocks in front of Neruda’s house was truly moving.
We enjoyed a morning with Raquel’s brother Jason, sister-in-law Norri, and neice Sammi in which we explored the grounds around Neruda’s house.
Ben’s favorite was the star shaped pine trees around the property.
