The museum was very well done. It begins with a short video, then visitors walk up short flights of stairs to various rooms of the house/grounds. Audioguides in various languages are available. Definitely worth a trip.

It is the home of a Nobel Prize. And? Neruda as a poet built an environment that instils art: the furniture, paintings and its architecture. Otherwise the political character of the construction may be better than the artistic, once it was one of the points of resistance to the Pinochet dictatorship. The guided tour shows the both sides, so crucial to Chilean cultural and political history.
This is a great place to start if you do not know anything about Pablo Neruda. The video right before you enter the house is very informative. The audio guide is also very helpful and helps you understand how this house reflects the mind and feelings of the most celebrated Chielan poet.
The house was restoired many years after the invasion at the 60`s because of the political crises. Neruda`s last wife created a museun with many furnitures and personal objects. You can see a short video to know the history completely. Very interesting and emotional.
This was an amazing experience. We were able to see the house as Neruda lived in it. Such a peaceful and lovely place. The nearby neighborhood is super cool too.
Not only was La Chascona easy to get to(not far from San Cristobal Hill) but it was a nice change of pace from the busy city. It was interesting learning about Pablo Neruda, and the audio tour was very helpful. There was so much quirky stuff to see, and because of his travels, it was from all over the world!
