ISLA NEGRA & LA SEBASTIANA MUSEUM PABLO NERUDA

ISLA NEGRA and LA SEBASTIANA MUSEUM PABLO NERUDA

Pablo Neruda (1904-73) was one of Chile’s greatest poets, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971 and spent many years living in El Quisco near an outcrop of rocks jutting into the water at the coast that he named Isla Negra. You’ll begin your half-day outing with a coach transfer to reach your first port of call, the poet’s erstwhile house and now museum, which you’ll have some time to explore. As a fan of all things maritime and an avid collector, Pablo Neruda’s house not only resembles a ship, but is filled to the brim with all sorts of items related to a seafaring lifestyle. You’ll also have a chance to browse the local handicraft store before returning to the coach for a panoramic drive past several of the region’s best beaches. Your return to the ship brings the outing to a close.
