2. Located in Valparaíso, on Cerro Bellavista, it stands out for the beauty of its construction and its magnificent view of the harbor bay. The poet was looking for a house in Valparaíso "that seemed to float in the air, but that was well settled on the ground". Neruda fell in love with her, because he met the conditions of privacy and accessibility he wanted.

The Plaza de Armas, with its cathedral and grand old post office, is the historic heart, and the neoclassical La Moneda Palace stands a few blocks away. The Museum of Pre-Columbian Art holds treasures from across the Americas, and the Central Market serves seafood beneath a soaring iron roof.
