Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A small park with 3 bronze figures of Neruda and 2 poet friends posed ready for selfies or group photos.

We stumble upon this very particular statue and very much were intrigued by it. We then learn that this was a fairly big part of the Valparaiso culture and decided to stay a few more minutes. Great place just to reset and enjoy the moment!

Very nice views on yhe Hill. Lots of colorful homes around. Poet's plaza was not very well maintained but if you are a fan of Neruda, it is worth to visit.

This is another area of the city which would benefit from some TLC - or just some tidying up? Tourism is clearly important to Valparaíso these days, so they need to focus more effort on making it a great experience.

Nice stop-over point on the way to Pablo Neruda's house. Shake hands with a statue. Put your arm around another. The park is a little dirty, but not out of the ordinary for Valpo standards.

You get there by walking downhill from la Sebastiana (Neruda's house and museum). There are nice souvenir stalls on the way as well. Try the different flavours of alfajores.

If you visit La Sebastiana and walk downhill you will pass by Plaza Las Poetas. The plaza has some nice mature trees and a playground for children at the eastern end. There are some benches but they don't have a back. I found it more comfortable to sit against a tree. There are a few sculptures at the western end of the park. Ringing the park are a few under-whelming restaurant. I advise continuing to walk downhill on Hector Calvo where you will find some more interesting shops and restaurants.
