Isla Negra and Pomaire Trip

Follow in the footsteps of Pablo Neruda and be seduced by the deep blue Pacific ocean crashing against the rocky coastline of Isla Negra. Besides visiting the famous poet's house, we will also discover a traditional village with a rich artisan heritage.

Isla Negra and Pomaire Trip

After collecting you from your hotel at 8 am, we will head to a stretch of idyllic coastline in central Chile known as Isla Negra.

Pablo Neruda owned three homes in Chile, but his favorite was here in Isla Negra. We will visit this house, which was made to resemble a boat. Inside, you will discover nautical memorabilia, such as figureheads, sailboat replicas, tiny model boats inside ancient bottles, seashells, and whale teeth. All the objects inside this house play a role in the poetry of the Nobel Prize winner.

After learning about Neruda's final residence, we will head behind the house to see the graves of the poet and his muse, Matilde Urrutia, on a clifftop overlooking the Pacific ocean.

On the way back to Santiago, we will stop to visit Pomaire, a small town famous for its artisan pottery. Here, you will learn about this clay artform and admire the region's smooth, red-toned ceramic artworks. You will have some free time to eat in one of the local restaurants.

Next, we will visit Viña Undurraga, a historic winery with over 130 years of experience in crafting Chilean wine. You will have the opportunity to taste their wines.

After a full day exploring Isla Negra and Pomaire, we will start the return journey to Santiago. The tour finishes back at your hotel at around 4 pm.
