Isla Negra is a small coastal village of summer houses that Pablo Neruda chose as his home in the late 1930s. His house, now a museum, overlooks the Pacific and holds the collections the poet gathered around the world: ships’ figureheads, seashells, bottles, maps and much more.
This private half-day tour leaves from your hotel, crosses the Casablanca Valley — famous for its Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc vineyards — and follows the region’s southern coast through the resorts of Algarrobo, El Quisco and El Tabo to Isla Negra, where we visit the poet’s house with admission included.

Frequently asked questions
Is admission to Neruda’s house included?
Yes. Admission to the Pablo Neruda House Museum in Isla Negra is included in the tour.
How long is the visit to the house?
The guided visit inside the house takes about an hour. The rest of the time is spent driving along the coast and stopping at the seaside towns.
Which days is the museum open?
The House Museum is closed on Mondays. When you request a quote we confirm availability for your date and, if needed, book a time slot.
Can it be combined with the Casablanca wineries?
Yes. The road to Isla Negra crosses the valley, so a winery visit can be added to make it a full day. Just ask.
Does it work for cruise passengers?
Yes, provided your port call allows about five hours away from the ship. We coordinate pickup and return with your ship’s schedule.
