Departure Time

9:00 AM
Start the day with 8am pickup at your hotel in Santiago: pickup is available in the districts of Providencia, Las Condes, Vitacura, or Santiago Centro. Board an air-conditioned van for the 1.5-hour trip to Isla Negra, which passes through a scenic agricultural landscape. Make the first stop of the day at the former home of the poet Pablo Neruda, who built it to resemble the interior of a ship, filled with seashells, mementoes, and treasures from the sea.

After touring Neruda’s home, take some time to explore the nearby towns, such as El Tabo, El Quisco, and Canelo, then continue to  Algarrobo, a pair of resort destination adjacent to San Alfonso del Mar (home of a record-breaking swimming pool). Drive to the pottery village of Pomaire for a classic lunch of Chilean specialties (own expense), then join your guide for a walking tour of the village. This is the perfect place to shop for distinctive, affordable souvenirs made by local artisans, and you can buy directly from their small workshops.

At the end of the afternoon, begin the return trip to Santiago, where this tour concludes with drop-off at your hotel at roughly 6pm.

Of its tourist attractions, the most popular are, of course, the beaches. The main one is Playa Chica (155 meters wide by 80 m long, with thick yellow sand), from which you can see many of the residences of the architectural heritage of Las Cruces; behind a roquerío below is the picturesque fishing cove.

Stop At:  
Pomaire
Walking down the main street, stores overflowing with handmade clay ceramics — known as greda — line both sides for as far as you can see. This is perhaps what Pomaire is best known for. Everything is made from a distinctive clay—a rose tinted earthen mixture that is both warm and rustic. Artisans craft the clay into casserole dishes and bowls ideal for preparing traditional Chilean dishes like cazuela, porotos, and of course, pastel de choclo. In fact, if your pastel de choclo is cooked in anything other than a Pomaire dish, it is not quite authentic.

Excellent tour
Ilmar_T
, Apr 2020
We did this tour as one of the last before leaving Santiago in early March 2020. Excellent tour, with Isla Negra being a real highlight. The house is beautifully presented, just as it originally was and is full of nautical items. The guide was good and gave a little bit of the history of the place before we spent a good hour and a half looking at the exhibits. There is an excellent audio guide that takes about 45 minutes and takes you room to room and explains about the exhibits. The lunch at Pomaire was good as it was typical Chilean food, together with some entertainment. Definitely worth doing if you ar ein Santiago for more than a day or so.

Not as expected but turned out well

Our group of 13 persons enjoyed a nice day traveling from Santiago to the the Pacific Ocean. After our second stop however a thief broke one of the van windows while it was parked and stole several bags. The driver (Diego) was heart-broken but acted in a professional manner. He walked us through the police interview, drove us back to Santiago to the American embassy, where two new passports were obtained, then joined us for dinner. He was very helpful in all aspects of the experience. Though we never got to visit Pablo Neruda's home as planned, we did have a memorable experience and made our return flight home to the US that night!

We ended up being the only two that booked for our day, so ended up having a private tour! Yanina and Mauricio were very professional, friendly, and spoke English really well. We were never rushed and they gave us plenty of opportunities to explore and make the tour our own! We were very happy with our experience and would recommend this in a heartbeat! Was a lovely day and money well spent. -Britt and David

Our guide and driver Patricio weas absolutely perfect - a great driver and a perfect gentleman. Hey came on time, was very well-organized and made us feel welcomed, safe and cared for. The trip itself was great, too, very relaxing. We decided to skip lunch and instead Patricio offered to take us to see the sea lions (which is what I really wished to do) ... thank you :) very thoughtful and nice.

We loved this tour. Pablo Neruda,s home was incredible! The sea views were spectacular. Lunch was a culinary delight with authentic Chilian food. We then had time to shop at the Pamaire and enjoy going into the various shops. This is a must tour when visiting Santiagio.

We were the only two on this tour and it was great to have Henry all to ourselves. We had an unexpected short stop at Rio Tinto wine store/tasting room and that was nice. The Pablo Neruda museum was great, as was the lunch and short stop in Pomaire. We enjoyed the pottery and artisan shops there. Henry was friendly and professional and we recommend him for a great tour experience.
