Chilean President Michelle Bachelet will visit the detention centre where she was tortured in the 1970s.
President Bachelet was held at Villa Grimaldi, a house on the outskirts of the capital Santiago, with her mother in 1975 during Augusto Pinochet's rule.
Villa Grimaldi is now a memorial to the hundreds of prisoners who were tortured by the Chilean secret police there.
Under General Pinochet's government about 3,000 people were "disappeared" or killed for alleged communist links.
The former leader is currently facing a series of human rights charges related to his time in office.
President Bachelet has generally played down her past as a victim of the military government.
Her father, an air force general, was killed by Gen Pinochet's government for opposing the coup which brought him to power.
On Wednesday Ms Bachelet also said she does not believe a military cooperation agreement between neighbouring Bolivia and Venezuela posed a threat to Chile's national security.
