Patagonian paradise. explora en patagonia and atacama (chile) It’s a Zen thing: For explora, the interest is not so much the destination, but rather the journey itself. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have your eco-hotels built in some of the most breathtaking places on the planet, like the remote Torres del Paine National Park and stunningly stark Atacama, the world’s driest desert. These refined properties were designed with a sophisticated simplicity that brings guests and Nature together, as do the thoughtfully created explorations — from guided glacial treks, volcano viewing, and photo safaris to horseback rides across dramatic sand dunes and dips in natural hot springs. In the evening, tables covered in fine china and crystal await the arrival of just-caught salmon and Chilean wines. Three- to eight-night packages include roundtrip airport transfers; three meals daily, including house wine and other beverages; and guided explorations. Virtuoso guests also enjoy a room upgrade upon arrival, if available; an exclusive gift; and early check-in and late checkout, if available.
