El Quisco
Pablo Neruda's former home, now a museum and his burial site, sits within this Pacific-coast commune south of Santiago, on a stretch of Chilean coastline known as the Coast of Poets — a cultural designation shared with Vicente Huidobro, Violeta Parra, and Nicanor Parra. A popular summer resort for Santiaguinos, El Quisco offers direct beach access, scenic coastal surroundings, and a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size.
