Explora Patagonia

Torres del Paine, Chile

Explora Patagonia

A lakefront lodge in the heart of Torres del Paine

  • Hotel

Mountain views and wild Patagonia adventures

Set on the shores of Lake Pehoé, Explora Patagonia sits inside Torres del Paine National Park. The 50-room lodge has a privileged location with views towards the Paine Massif, lakes, glaciers, forests and golden grasslands.

Designed by Chilean architect José Cruz Ovalle, the lodge uses cypress, lenga and almendrillo woods throughout. Large windows bring the outside in, keeping the focus on the surrounding landscape.

You can hike to the famed Towers, explore glaciers and lakes, or ride across the park on Explora’s own Patagonian horses. We especially love heading into the private 15,000-acre conservation reserve for Explora-only routes. This is an opportunity to follow quiet trails and feel like you have the wilderness almost to yourself.

The spa features a heated indoor pool, steam sauna and four open-air hot tubs overlooking the Paine River. And dining is thoughtful and regionally inspired with locally sourced ingredients and pairings with regional Chilean wines. Expect hearty Patagonian flavours after a day exploring the park.
