One of the sights we visited in Valparaiso was "La Sebastiana" which was Pablo Neruda's house. This is where he wrote most of his poetry and was inspired by the view. Unfortunately it was a little cloudy on Saturday so I didn't get the best shot, but you can still see the amazing view of the port and ships. No photos were allowed inside the house, but it was so cool. Each room was a different color or design and he had collections of the coolest antiques. I'm sure they weren't necessarily antiques back then, but they are now! My favorite was probably the horse from an old carousel. The house was architecturally very interesting because he bought it when it was incomplete because the original designer had died before he could finish it. Neruda made some interesting changes, but it turned out very cool. Definitely a place worth visiting.
