explora en patagonia
"an adventure in magnificence and style"

In the explora's own words:

explora: A unique concept

Our characteristic is that we are connoisseurs of our own land and its nature: the southern tip of South America. An unexplored territory, a place to find the secrets of the remote. We like freedom; we appreciate the traveler who can make his choices and discern, who tours the world with sensitivity and enthusiasm, open to observation and new experiences.

We have selected a privileged natural setting; we have the precise experience to organize fascinating and safe explorations. Our Hotel has the necessary sophistication to allow our guests to enjoy all of life's pleasures. To us the world is still an enjoyable placed filled with the secrets and marvels of nature.

The hotel has only 50 rooms, as follows:
  1 Rio Paine (19 m2, 205 sq ft) with view to Salto Chico waterfall
  7 Cordillera Paine (26 m2, 280 sq ft) with view of Salto Chico waterfall
