"Niña morena y ágil..." es el comienzo del poema Nº 19 de Pablo Neruda. La niña morena y ágil de la foto soy yo, y yo no soy una actividad que deba verse, en lo absoluto, pero la poesía de Neruda sí que lo es. Leave a Comment

 Neruda's House (Isla Negra) by andal13
Sutil visitadora, llegas en la flor y en el agua.
Eres más que esta blanca cabecita que aprieto
como un racimo entre mis manos cada d?a.
A nadie te pareces desde que yo te amo."
Pablo Neruda - Poema Nº 14 (fragmento)
El gran poeta Pablo Neruda tenía tres casas en Chile; esta, en Isla Negra, es probabemente la más encantadora e interesante. Aquí el vivió sus últimos días, y aquí murió. Su tumba y la de su última esposa, Matilde, se encuentran aquí.
"You play every day with the light of universe.
Sutil visitor, you come in the flower and the water.
You are more than this little head I take
like racemes in my hands each day.
You seem like no other since I love you."
Pablo Neruda - Poem 14 (fragment)
Great poet Pablo Neruda had three houses in Chile; this one, at Isla Negra, is probably the most charming and interesting one. There he lived his last days and died. His tomb, and Matilde's (his last wife) are there. Leave a Comment

 la Chascona by chancay
another poem by Pablo Neruda:
Love
Because of you, in gardens of blossoming flowers I ache from the
perfumes of spring.
I have forgotten your face, I no longer remember your hands;
how did your lips feel on mine?
Because of you, I love the white statues drowsing in the parks,
the white statues that have neither voice nor sight.
I have forgotten your voice, your happy voice; I have forgotten
your eyes.
Like a flower to its perfume, I am bound to my vague memory of
you. I live with pain that is like a wound; if you touch me, you will
do me irreparable harm.
Your caresses enfold me, like climbing vines on melancholy walls.
I have forgotten your love, yet I seem to glimpse you in every
window.
Because of you, the heady perfumes of summer pain me; because
of you, I again seek out the signs that precipitate desires: shooting
stars, falling objects.

Whilst staying at Hotel Orly in Providencia we booked a half day tour around Santiago through About Tours. We drove through the different suburbs and saw Historical sights such as Santa Lucia Hill where the conqueror Pedro De Valdivia founded Santiago.
After that we saw The stock exchange, National Library , the court house, and former congress, the Town Square and the national Historical Museum.
We ended our tour by visiting neighbourhoods such as Vitacura,Las Condes and finally finished with El Pueblito de los Domininicos a beautiful village selling craft and art works.

The house, La Chascona, named for his third wife's mane of hair, is one of the 3 houses owned by Neruda that have been converted to museums. I'ts not really a house, it's more like a bunch of rooms that are connected by gardens. Imagine walking between rooms but having to go outside in the rain to get to the kitchen. Photography is not permited inside the rooms, the guide did allow me to shoot one room from outside the window. The pictured room is the one where he relaxed with his mistress. Make sure you check out the many postcards Pablo collected from his journeys around the world. To get an idea of Mr. Neruda rent the Italian movie movie 'Il Postino', he is portrayed as a central charactor in the movie. Leave a Comment Directions: The house is located in the Bellavista neighborhood.Other Contact: Pablo Neruda died of leukemia in

I love my visit to La Chascona, in no small due to my adoration of Neruda and an excellent, enthusiastic English-speaking guide who was familiar with the arts, Gonzalo. The house itself is very quaint as it is built like a ship and showcases the various collections of Neruda. If you don't read Spanish, be warned that the gift shop does not carry English books of Neruda's poems except for one on his birds poems (!). I hope they stock up soon. Leave a Comment Address: 12 minutes' walk from the subway stop, Baquedano.Phone: 777-8741Directions: Bellavista / San Cristobal. You can visit it after going up to San Cristobal.

Take a taxi to Pablo Neruda's house at the foot of the hill. There is a cafe within the house ---so once you've bought your ticket for a guided tour (in Spanish or English) relax with a coffee, sandwich etc.
The house itself is so interesting: it has been designed to look like a small ship in places and the many rooms are enchanting. There is so much to take in!
A guide is helpful and will give extra information if prompted ---our one seemed to avoid overloading us with too much until we kept asking about this and that.
The over-long shoes are in a studio, behind glass ---but they looked crazy! All very surrealist!
One thing: indoor photos are not allowed.
After the tour you can easily find the funicular railway to take you to the top of the hill ---or you may prefer to stop half-way to visit the zoo.
