chile: isla negra & cajon del maipo
isla negra & cajon del maipo, chile
isla negra and cajon del maipo are examples of nice day trips you can take in chile as they are just a few hours outside of valparaiso and santiago -- enjoy!
isla negra is not an island, but a small town that lies along the pacific about two hours south of valparaiso. It is best known for the pablo neruda casa museum, one of his three homes. neruda himself named it after an out-cropping of dark rocks behind his house. unfortunately, but understandably, you are not allowed to take photos in the neruda house museums, but enjoy a look around.

cajon del maipo is a scenic area in the andes east of santiago.
it takes a couple hours to reach as the road winds up into the mountains.
if you like hiking, it’s a great day trip option from santiago.
