This exceptional experience-driven hotel in one of South America's most spellbinding locations has its own brand of adventurous, unpretentious luxury.

This hotel is extraordinary in every sense, from its eye-popping location surrounded by granite massifs on Lake Pehoé to the experience-driven explora ethos, which places nature and adventure at the forefront of its uniquely unpretentious brand of luxury.

Explora Torres del Paine is a sumptuously comfortable base from which to enjoy the jagged mountains, wildflower meadows, meandering rivers and glaciers that define this windswept wilderness of breathtaking beauty. You can explore Torres del Paine National Park on foot or horseback, or simply relax and enjoy the scenery from the hotel, where the simplicity of the design stands in dramatic contrast to the stunning vistas framed by panoramic windows.

Although there’s an emphasis on the great outdoors, Explora Torres del Paine is a family-friendly place that welcomes guests of all ages and fitness levels, and the included activity programme is tailored to each individual. Excursions led by expert guides include hikes to Lago Grey Glacier and the spectacular trek to the peaks of Las Torres, while the hotel also has daily riding options for equestrians of all levels.

On arrival at Punta Arenas airport, you will be met and driven to the hotel, a 4-5 hour journey through rugged, remote and eerily beautiful scenery. The hotel is just a 90-minutes drive from Puerto Natales.

Explora has conservation reserves in both the Atacama Desert and Torres del Paine to preserve endemic flora and fauna, and is planning further reserves in Chile.

  • "In our opinion this is the best hotel in the world. Every aspect was memorable but the Explora Patagonia stands out."

  • What a wonderful place to stay. Great facilities, stunning views, superb food. Very friendly and helpful staff offering informative talks each evening. Didn't want to leave! Range of horses was…

  • "For more serious hikers. After a third stay in an explorer began to get a bit bored with the limited menu choice."

    DB, London Jan 2014
  • Faultless service, could not do enough to help. Would recommend highly, particularly for the positive attitude of their house/serving staff, guides and drivers.
