Patagonia is a vast region in the southernmost tip of South America. Civilizations with magical rites, sailors and pioneers have contributed to its fame. It is a mythical place, synonymous with exploration. Located in the heart of Patagonia, 400 kms (249 miles) north of Punta Arenas, Torres del Paine National Park encompasses 242,242 hectares (598,000 acres). At 51º07’ south latitude and 73º10’ west longitude, the park is surrounded by the impressive Paine mountain range (Cordillera del Paine). With unusually-shaped granite peaks, glaciers, lakes and waterfalls, plus unique flora and fauna, Torres del Paine Park is considered one of the most beautiful places on Planet Earth. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1978.

At Hotel Explora in Patagonia, We have selected a privileged natural setting; At the Hotel Explora in Patagonia we have the experience to organize both fascinating and safe explorations of Patagonia Chile and its surroundings. The hotel Explora has the necessary sophistication to allow our guests to enjoy all of life's pleasures. To us the world is still an enjoyable place filled with the secrets and marvels of nature.

Torres del Paine National Park is located in the heart of the Chilean Patagonia region , 400 kilometers north of Punta Arenas. Because of the unique formation of its mountains, glaciers, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, flora and fauna, this region is considered among the most beautiful in the world. Explora built its Explora hotel in Patagonia on the shores of Lake Pehoé , architecturally one of the most remarkable in South America.

The hotel facilities include fax, telephone, radio and television receiving international channels, laundry service, Game room/Music Room. For outside recreation there are facilities for open air: Jacuzzis, Saunas, Heated swimming pool, Gym, and of course our own dock, and all the comforts of an hotel at the highest level. The architecture of Hotel Explora allows guests to enjoy comfort in this remote region. The design creates an aura of simplicity while showcasing the unfathomable beauty of the natural environment.

Strategically set on the shore of Lake Pehoé, Hotel Explora's Salto Chico was conceived as an exploration base site. It features refined comfort for total relaxation and the best gear ideally suited for exploring Patagonia. At the Hotel Explora, we are concerned with details. For example, our bed linen was selected in Barcelona, tapestries from New York, chinaware from England, and the wicker furniture from Chim-barongo. All of our furniture is hand made with different types of the finest local wood.

Getting There:

Take an International Flight to Santiago, Chile followed by a 4 hour flight from Santiago to Punta Arenas . Once in Punta Arenas, an explora representative will meet guests and take them to Explora's transfer van. The van ride is approximately 5 hrs. 2 hrs, 30 min (250 km/ 155 miles) on a paved road from Punta Arenas to Puerto Natales, where we stop for a quick snack, followed by 2 hrs, 30 min (150 km/ 93 miles) on a dirt road from Puerto Natales to explora en patagonia.

Climate:
The park features a microclimate, but the general climate in the region is maritime, with pleasant temperatures during the summer and winter. During the rainiest month, precipitation rarely exceeds more than 3.3 inches (85 millimeters). There is snowfall during the winter, but it is usually light to medium, and seldom impedes excursions. Wind is an important factor, because it can blow as strong as 110 km per hour (70 mph), producing continually changing climactic conditions. It can be raining and in a short while the wind will blow out the clouds, leaving the resplendent sun. Winds typically blow in from the west and are strongest during the end of spring and during summer. There is hardly any wind during the winter, save the occasional storm,and days are typically radiant and clear. The majority of snow is found at higher levels of the park, and lower levels and lake areas only see a few weeks of thin snow cover per year.
