Not really. These are photographs more than likely taken with moderately long exposures. Firstly you will never see the colours, the colour cells in your eye just aren't sensitive enough to pick up the colours you see here.
Next several objects like Eta Carina that are bright in this pic would appear as faint blobs with the naked eye, you can see them at reasonably dark sites, and easily see them when the sky is really good, but nowhere near this level of detail.
That said would still love to go to Chile to see these skies!
