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.

Explora Patagonia

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.

The Hotel

Features
The architecture of our hotel 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, explora's Hotel 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.

The nearby Casa de Baños del Ona features an indoor heated pool, exercise machines, sauna, massage room and open

Accommodations
At explora, we prefer refinement to luxury; plenty of hot and cold water, comfortable temperatures in winter and summer, tasty meals both during explorations and at the hotel, privacy, silence and darkness at night.

The interior has been conceived utilizing traditional lenga and cypress woods, handcrafted slate and copper plus furniture specially designed and made by local artisans.
The hotel has 50 rooms:

Food & Wine
Our food is based on the simple details of quality and incorporates local products. Food is an essential part of our culture. For us, it is equally important to have the appropriate food not only at the lodge, but also while enjoying an exploration. During the latter, no matter how remote the location, our staff will always surprise you.

In addition, we frequently organize at our Quincho (traditional barbecue area), near the Estancia 2 de Enero, outdoor food activities where guests, staff and locals find a good reason to get together.

Wines are brought from different vineyards belonging to sister-companies, namely: Viña Gracia, Viña Porta, Viña Agustinos and Viña Veranda
For those looking to explore deeper into Chile’s wine alternatives we have designed a premium selection list.
