Trip at a Glance
Overview
Staying at the Explora is a complete experience. Justifiably renowned for its pioneering architecture and unashamed luxury, the Explora in Patagonia is without doubt the best hotel in the park and indulges its guests’ every whim and need. The sensational view of lake, mountain and waterfall can be enjoyed from the lounge, the restaurant, many of the bedrooms and even the open air jacuzzis, and despite the hotel’s distinctly designer interior and exterior, it is well-known for its environmental awareness and sympathy with its surroundings. The rooms are Scandinavian in style and combine rustic charm with unlimited comfort – you will sleep in Spanish bed linen, eat from English chinaware and admire tapestries flown over from New York. Unlike other accommodation in the park, the Explora has full communication facilities, including international television and video, telephone, radio and fax, as well as an indoor heated swimming pool and spa As the name suggests, the Explora concept is based around exploration and the hotel’s exclusive guides and excursion routes will ensure that you get the very most out of Patagonia and Torres del Paine. You will meet the lodge’s guides every evening, and they will then tailor-make the next day’s activities for you, dependent on the weather and what you would most like to do.
