Description of Literary Chile, Culinary and Educational Tour

Highlights:
  • Travel with KQED’s Michael Krasny to the “land of poets,” as Chileans call their country, and learn about its rich literary traditions, colorful history, and award-winning wines.
  • Meet with Chilean writers and artists, conversing about the influence of Gabriela Mistral, Pablo Neruda, and Isabel Allende on their work and how a prosperous and democratic Chile is shaping Chilean culture.
  • Visit all three of Pablo Neruda’s homes in central Chile—La Chascona, La Sebastiana, and Isla Negra—authentic manifestations of the poetry, passion, and political convictions that defined his life.
  • Explore Chile through the eyes of Isabel Allende’s protagonists, including Ines Suarez of Ines of My Soul, Eliza Sommers of Daughter of Fortune, and Clara del Valle of The House of Spirits.
  • Savor the wines, cuisine, and scenery of Chile’s capital city, Santiago; Chile’s primary port and UNESCO World Heritage site Valparaiso; and the wine country of the Casablanca Valley.
