Stop At: Isla Negra Museum House, Isla Negra, Valparaiso Region

The House of Isla Negra is one of the three houses that the Chilean writer and poet Pablo Neruda had in his country. It is located in Isla Negra, commune of El Quisco, province of San Antonio, Valparaíso region (located about 113 kilometers from Santiago). It was declared a national monument in 1990.
Neruda bought the house in 1938 from the Spanish sailor Eladio Sobrino. Then, it was only a hut of stone that, little by little, was widened according to the particular taste of the poet. It was his favorite house and the place where he and his third wife, Matilde Urrutia spent most of her time in Chile. Neruda, a lover of the sea and maritime things, built the house as a boat with low ceilings, crispy hardwood floors, and narrow aisles.
The place was originally called the Seagulls. 4 the poet renamed it as Black Island by the color of its rocks.
In this House are also kept the most important collections that the poet treasured during his life, most of them related to the sea like for example the figureheads of prow, maps, replicas of sailboats, boats inside of bottles, marine snails and teeth of Sperm whale. Other collections include pipes, antique shoes, masks and bottles of strange shapes. Which are in your living room under the sea
