La Sebastiana (Neruda's Valparaíso House)
Valparaíso, Chile
About This Activity
La Sebastiana, perched high on Cerro Florida, was Pablo Neruda's Valparaíso retreat. The narrow five-story house climbs the hillside, filled with the poet's eclectic collections: nautical instruments, antique maps, and colored glass. The top-floor view of the harbor and city is spectacular. Audio guides narrate Neruda's love affair with the port city.
