La Sebastiana
La Sebastiana is Pablo Neruda’s house in Valparaíso, now open to the public as a museum. Neruda was a Chilean poet-diplomat and politician who won the 1971 Nobel Prize in Literature. High up on Cerro Florida, the house offers a marvelous view of the sea and an interesting insight into the life and work of this eccentric poet and diplomat. Pablo Neruda bought this place in order “to live and write in peace” and furnished every corner according to his taste and preferences. He sometimes celebrated New Year’s Eve here. Neruda called La Sebastiana “a house that seems to be floating in the air, but stands firmly on the ground”. In the evening you will have the opportunity to dine with a local family in Valparaiso and experience authentic Chilean life.
