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."

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.
