Reasons To
Visit Chile

  • Atacama desert

    Endlessly referred to as the "driest desert in the world" the Atacama is a great base for the outdoor enthusiast. Mountain biking, walking, visits to salt pans and bubbling geysers are just a few of the possibilities whilst staying here.

  • Expedition cruises

    The bottom third of Chile is home to numerous fjords, islets, archipelagos and peninsulas to explore. There is no better (in fact no other!) way to explore these fascinating territories than by taking to the water. Whether it is exploring the northern ice fields, travelling down through fjords or cruising around the southern tip of South America to Cape Horn there is a journey to suit all interests.

  • Patagonia

    The most famous National Park in Chile and all of Patagonia, Torres del Paine is remote, rugged and windswept. The eponymous "Torres" or towers and uniquely smooth and twisted cuernos (horns) of the Paine Massif are unforgettable. Once there, the incredible landscape is waiting to be explored, either by foot, boat, bike, horse or vehicle.

  • Self-drive

    By comparison to neighbouring countries, Chilean roads are generally a good standard and well-signed, making it an excellent choice for self drive. Opportunities extend from heading out of Santiago, through the Winelands down to the pretty Lake District through to self-exploration of the Patagonian Steppe around Torres del Paine National Park.

  • The Andes

    The mighty Andes create a magnificent natural border between Chile and neighbouring Argentina, running the full length of the country. They loom up from the Pacific providing a breathtaking backdrop to desert, vineyard and glacier and isolating the Chilean people from most of the rest of the continent.

  • Walking & trekking

    From gentle strolls in the lush green hills of the Lake District, to hiking a volcano in the Atacama or climbing to the base of the famous towers in Torres del Paine National Park, Chile offers some of the best opportunities in Latin America for walking and trekking at all levels.

  • Wine

    Chile has been making wine for over 400 years and now produces some of the best Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon in the world. It is also very reasonably priced. Chile's most famous vineyards and wineries are generally located in the valleys around Santiago and make excellent day trips from the city whilst many have their own accommodation.

Accommodation in Chile: Explora en Patagonia

Our Rating: Deluxe

Explora en Patagonia

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.
