Explora Patagonia

Set on the edge of Lake Pehoe in Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia, Chile, Explora Patagonia is renowned for its pioneering architecture, awe-inspiring views, and understated luxury. Designed to blend in with the glacial wilderness, it’s the perfect base to explore this UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.

The rooms and suites are designed to complement the landscape. Blending Scandinavian simplicity with unlimited comfort, there are no TVs or WiFi here, only massive picture windows looking over the Salto Chico Waterfall, Lake Pehoe, and the Paine Massif.

The national park is the real star, and there is plenty to keep you occupied. Go on explorations by foot, horseback, or 4WD, ranging from gentle walks to full-day horse treks. Alternatively, spend a day on the 2 de Enero Ranch experiencing gaucho culture.

Unwind in the heated pool or sink into one of four outdoor Jacuzzis. Dine on Explora Patagonian cuisine in the restaurant, before retiring to the Explorer’s Bar to swap stories.
