Award-winning hotel in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve
Are you desperately seeking disconnection? Interruptions only in the form of valleys, lakes and fjords through mountains? Going as off-the-grid as you dare? Welcome to Explora Patagonia in the southernmost part of the Andes, a soul-satisfying verdant and glacial mountainscape that breathes new life into tired travellers.
The hotel is focused on essential luxuries. This means that you won’t find WiFi or a TV in any of Explora Patagonia’s rooms – you will find lovely ensuite bathrooms and exceptional views however. And space to breathe and rest after a day exploring this legendary destination over 50 different guided hikes, horseback excursions and spotting as many of the nearly 500 animal species found in Patagonia. The latter includes 133 types of birds and 25 mammals found in the Torres del Paine National Park who have evolved to thrive in the region’s strong winds, low temperatures and ceaseless rains. A strong-armed stone’s throw away lies the hotel’s 2 de Enero Ranch, your glimpse into authentic gaucho culture. But if staying put is what excites you, we get it. We wouldn’t want to be far from the hotel either, with rejuvenating massages at Spa-Ona, a heated swimming pool and four open-air Jacuzzis. Bliss.
