Explora Hotels offer exclusivity and comfort in two of Chile's most impressive wilderness areas - Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia, and the Atacama Desert. The Explora Hotel Salto Chico in Patagonia has a magical location on Lake Pehoé surrounded by granite massifs.
The lodge is a luxurious base from which to enjoy the scenery; mountains, glaciers, waterfalls and emerald lakes. You can explore the park on foot or horseback, or simply relax and enjoy the vistas from the hotel. After a day's activities, guests may unwind with a sauna or outdoor Jacuzzi.
A stay can be combined with the Explora Atacama located in the Atacama Desert in Northern Chile.
Location
Explora Hotel Salto Chico lies on the banks of Lake Pehoé in Torres del Paine National Park, a 181,414-hectare reserve of outstanding natural beauty set in the Patagonia of Southern Chile. Access is usually by air, though it is possible to arrive or depart by land from the Argentine border.
The nearest airport is at Punta Arenas, a four-hour flight from Santiago. On arrival you will be met and driven to the hotel via the prehistoric Milodon Caves, a journey along a gravel road that takes four hours. The scenery en route is rugged, remote, and eerily beautiful.
Things to do
The main attraction of a stay at Explora is to take advantage of Torres del Paine National Park's outstanding natural attractions. There are 17 excursions on offer with five alternatives daily, graded according to fitness levels and duration. What or how much you choose to do is completely up to you.
Excursions, which include a packed lunch, are by 12-seater wagon, foot, and on horseback, and may include hikes to Lago Grey Glacier and the spectacular trek to the twin peaks of Los Torres. Llamas, guanacos and condors are just some of the wildlife that roam around the park.

We’ve Been There
"If you enjoy hiking it is definitely worth staying for a week - there are three fantastic full day hikes, and you can also enjoy a traditional barbecue, horse-riding and some very worthwhile shorter walks."
