LA CHASCONA MUSEUM A five- to ten-minute taxi ride or 20-minute walk from Bocanariz, La Chascona Museum is housed in one of the former abodes of the late Nobel- prize winning poet Pablo Neruda. The former diplomat-turned-prolific poet is among Latin America’s most important literary figures, and is best known outside the Spanish-speaking world for his romantic collection Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair. The house was constructed in the 1950s for Matilde Urrutia, the poet’s secret lover (and, later, wife), whose fiery locks inspired its name (chascona is a Chilean-Spanish word of Quechuan origin that means “wild hair”). She lived here until her death in 1985, at which point it was turned into a museum honouring the poet and his later works. Even if you’re unfamiliar with Neruda’s oeuvre, La Chascona is worth a visit for its quirky décor and maze- like architecture. The dining hall is designed to resemble a ship, with low ceilings, nautical-themed furnishings and a captain’s bar (Neruda was a lover of the ocean). Art on show includes portrayals of the poet by the likes of Chilean surrealist master Roberto Matta, and a bevy of watermelon-related works (Neruda’s favourite fruit). Open Tues- Sun 10am-6pm (7pm Jan-Feb); entry 5000 pesos (£5), audio guide in English included. Fernando Marquez de la Plata 0192;
