Lodge Patagonia Chile.Salto
Chico Hotel
At the remote end of the world.
 Located
in the hearth al Patagonia, 400 km (249 miles) north of Punta
Arenas, Torres del Paine National Park encompasses 242.242 hectares
(598,000 acres). At 51*07’ south latitude and 73*10’
west longitude, the park is surrounded by the impressive Paine
mountain range (Cordillera del Paine). The weather is mild due
to its close proximity to the sea, with many sunny days a year.With
unusually-shaped mountains, glaciers, lakes and waterfalls,
plus most flora and fauna, Torres del Paine is considered one
of the most beautiful places in the world. The park was designated
a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1978. |

Getting
There
Take an international flight to Santiago, Chile (SCL) followed by
a 4 hour flight from Santiago to Punta Arenas (PUQ). Once in PUQ,
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 lodge
Patagonia. |

Climate
The park features microclimates, 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 (85millimetres). 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 duringsummer.
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 or the park, and lower levels and lake areas
only see a few weeks of thin snow cover per year. |
