Fantastic museum, from pre-history to the present day with many artifacts and great narration. A must see.

Traditional cellars used for the elaboration of pisco
Reviewed By chiaralqc - Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Loved this distillery, we were given a tour by the owner in English without any prior reservation and it was just perfect. Started with a taster pisco sour, then the tour, then the tastings of the pisco itself. Really special place, can tell that the family really care for what they do.
3. Casa Museo La Chascona

Tour the eclectic architecture of this home which served as the romantic hideaway for famed poet Pablo Neruda and his wife Matilde, as portrayed in the 1995 film "Il Postino."
Reviewed By kanemochi - Seattle, United States
This is a fabulous museum paying tribute to the great Nobel Prize poet Pablo Neruda. The museum is literally the house Neruda built and lived in with his wife Matilde Urrutia in Santiago. Please note you are not allowed to take any photographs inside the house. You’re free to take as many photographs outside the house, however. You’re given an audio guide which explains the different parts of the house. This was the most underrated site I visited in Santiago. I would recommend this museum as a must visit for anyone who has even a slight interest in literature. Even those who are not interested in literature will appreciate this museum as a great tribute to one of Chile’s greatest sons.
4. La Sebastiana

4.5 based on 5,027 reviews
This four-story home, offering 360 degree views of the city, is highlighted by "the jar of smoke," a round, post-modern fireplace designed by Neruda himself.
Reviewed By Sportyrod - Hobart, Australia
Neruda created this home with his imagination. He enjoyed collecting items and finding creative ways to make them fit in. Every surface has a thoughtful touch to it. There is audio on most items. The house itself is without comparison, truly beautiful. I felt inspired just being there. I also bought the book on the house since you can’t take photos (it is called La Sebastiana by the Neruda Foundation).

Made entirely of wood, this striking church was designed by an Italian architect in a blend of Neo-Gothic and classic design.
Reviewed By RichardK938 - West Palm Beach, United States
This church is one of the UNESCO Chiloe churches and is really pretty. It has a bright yellow exterior and a fantastic wooden interior with a vaulted ceiling made using ship building techniques. It even takes the shape of an inverted ship's hull. Don't miss this church and as many other UNESCO churches as you can take in.

Took a short tour of the restored palace conducted by a few students. Nice to see investment in the history of Chile.

Twenty-one slate covered pools with hot and cold thermal water in Chile's lake district.
Reviewed By MariannakiG - Doha, Qatar
Amazing architecture and simplicity integrated completely with the most amazing nature! The almost 1.5h drive is totally worth it, just make sure you have enough time to relax and explore different springs and water temperatures. You only need your swim suit and flip flops, anything else you may need, towels, locker key etc they provide you there, while the facilities / changing rooms etc are very clean and tidy. The evening time would be also amazing! And if the weather is cloudy, event better!
9. Ballet Kari Kari

Reviewed By joemK5560UV - Houston, United States
This was a very professional production of cultural dance and music that was very enjoyable and which clearly has a lot of thought and planning behind it. The dancers give it their all and are dedicated to their performances, and the music is beautiful. This isn't some hokey, jaded tourist trap but rather dedicated artists who are clearly enthusiastic about their culture and history (rightfully so) and do a great job sharing it with visitors to the island. The show as an hour long which was just about right for me. The dance and music stand alone well-enough but I would agree with one of the other reviewers here that maybe a short explanation of a dance segment here and there, and maybe a keep word or two to listen, to would have been interesting. This was done for one spotlight performance and was well-done without detracting from the flow of the performance.

We visited this winery as part of our tour with Colchagua Wine Tours. We had a tour and tasting. The best thing about this winery are the views from the rooftop (make sure you stop at the rooftop after your tour to take some more photos without crowds) and the wine tasting room. The winery itself felt a bit corporate and did not have as much as a local history and connection to the community as some of the other wineries we visited. The wine was good and some of the reds were a bit on the dry side - still good wine, just making you aware. It's also a smaller winery.
