Chile’s breathtaking coastline offers spectacular views of crashing waves, jagged landscapes, and smooth white sand beaches. Anchored by the affluent resort city Viña del Mar and the historic port of Valparaiso – declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its architectural and cultural importance – a number of charming beach towns spread to the north and south. One must-see is Isla Negra, where Pablo Neruda’s former home looks out to sea and provides a snapshot into the life and mind of Chile’s most beloved poet. All along the coast, elegant homes and hotels are nestled into the hills, and a number of excellent restaurants serve some of the best seafood you’ll ever taste.
