Things to do in Valparaiso, Valparaiso Region: The Best Specialty Museums

October 24, 2021 Esmeralda Fenner

Only 70 miles northwest of capital Santiago, Valparaiso is Chile's main port and known for its bohemian, artistic vibe and lovely vistas. Its UNESCO-designated historic downtown offers charming colonial architecture, great seafood restaurants, markets and stores. Take 100-year-old funicular Ascensor Artilleria or climb Cerro Concepcion for stunning ocean and city views. Back at street level, visit writer Pablo Neruda's house.

La Sebastiana

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.

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).
