Private Tour Pablo Neruda House Museum, Isla Negra, Pomaire from Santiago

Isla Negra and Pomaire: poetry, magic, fine dining and pottery crafts

Isla Negra was one of Pablo Neruda’s homes, built facing the Pacific and filled with the objects he collected on his travels. Today it operates as a museum, and it’s an essential stop for anyone who wants to understand the poet beyond his books.

A private day trip from Santiago, rich in architectural and cultural content, offering plenty of entertainment and beautiful ocean views. We visit El Quisco, the Pablo Neruda House Museum, the Pacific coast, and the artisan and pottery village of Pomaire.

On this excursion, we’ll have the opportunity to visit and explore Pablo Neruda’s house, a gem in itself, with a remarkable originality and breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Built according to the specific principles of a ship, everything about it evokes the sea. Inside, the house treasures what the poet collected over decades in his final refuge: masks, figureheads, giant butterflies, exotic seashells, childhood toys, and other eccentricities that are hard to find elsewhere and well worth seeing.

On the way back, the tour stops in Pomaire, the pottery village famous for its traditional clay ceramics, with free time to browse the workshops before returning to Santiago.

Pomaire is a town of pottery artisans, famous in Chile for its clay crafts. Its renowned ceramics are characterized by their reddish hue and smooth, glossy surface. In Pomaire, we’ll stroll along the main street, where artisans display their vases, pans, rustic ornaments, and decorative items. We’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy a delicious Chilean lunch at a typical local restaurant (optional).

As this is a private tour, we will pick you up directly from your home or hotel. There’s no need to arrange a pick-up route to collect other passengers… We’ll go straight to Isla Negra! Once you have booked, you can speak with the coordinator to adjust the pick-up time. However, due to traffic conditions, we recommend leaving early to make the most of the day.
