About This Tour

A private 3-hour tour through the historic port city of Valparaíso and neighboring Viña del Mar, riding funiculars up Valparaíso's steep hills and visiting La Sebastiana, Pablo Neruda's quirky hillside home turned museum. This private tour pairs Valparaíso's two most requested experiences: its historic funicular hills and Pablo Neruda's real former home, La Sebastiana. Your guide then continues to nearby Viña del Mar, the 'Garden City,' known for its long beach and parks — with time to browse Easter Island artifacts at the Museo Fonck if you'd like.

La Sebastiana was designed by Spanish captain Sebastián Collado, who died in 1949 before finishing it. Neruda began looking for a house in Valparaíso in 1959, bought the half-built structure with friends, and kept the top floors for himself and Matilde Urrutia. Repairs after the 1960 earthquake and tsunami delayed his move until 1961.

The house was abandoned after the 1973 coup and Neruda's death, then restored and declared a national monument in 1991. Its views over the harbor were a deliberate part of the appeal, and Neruda liked to watch the New Year's fireworks from here.

Viña del Mar, a few minutes north, has a very different feel. Its Flower Clock was inaugurated in 1962, and the Museo Fonck holds an original moai from Rapa Nui.
