Explore Without Limits at Explora Patagonia
Positioned on the shores of Lake Pehoé facing the iconic Paine Massif, Explora Patagonia pioneered the all-inclusive exploration concept in Torres del Paine. This award-winning lodge combines bold architecture, exceptional guides, and unlimited adventures to create transformative experiences in one of the planet’s most spectacular wilderness areas.
Iconic Architecture
Explora’s distinctive white structure curves along the shoreline, its modernist design creating a striking contrast with the raw landscape. Floor-to-ceiling windows in every space frame the Paine horns, while blonde wood interiors provide warmth against the dramatic exterior. The building’s low profile respects the landscape while ensuring every guest enjoys unobstructed views.
Rooms Facing Paradise
All 49 rooms face Lake Pehoé and the Paine Massif, with minimalist design that emphasizes the spectacular views. Comfortable beds, efficient heating, and quality linens ensure restful nights after active days. The simplicity is intentional – Explora believes the landscape should be the star, with accommodations providing comfortable refuge rather than distraction.
Unlimited Exploration
Explora’s model includes over 40 different guided explorations ranging from gentle walks to technical mountaineering. Expert guides lead small groups on hikes to Torres del Paine’s base, horseback rides across the pampas, and kayak expeditions on glacial lakes. The variety ensures options for all fitness levels and interests, with the flexibility to change plans based on weather or preference.
Restorative Amenities
After days of adventure, Explora’s spa and pools provide essential restoration. Four outdoor hot tubs face the Paine horns, while the indoor pool offers lap swimming with mountain views. The spa features a traditional wood-fired sauna and massage rooms where therapists ease tired muscles. The bar becomes a social hub where guides and guests share stories over pisco sours.
Farm-to-Table Dining
The restaurant emphasizes local ingredients prepared with international techniques. Quinoa from the Altiplano, lamb from nearby estancias, and vegetables from Explora’s own greenhouses create healthy, flavorful meals. The open kitchen encourages interaction with chefs, while packed lunches for full-day explorations maintain the same quality standards as restaurant meals.
Conservation Leadership
Explora demonstrates industry leadership in conservation and sustainability. The property operates on renewable energy, implements comprehensive waste management, and supports local conservation projects. Guides educate guests about Patagonia’s ecosystems while the company’s reserves protect critical wildlife habitat. Your stay directly contributes to preserving this extraordinary landscape for future generations.
