An intimate lodge located in the heart of Chile’s Carretera Austral, Explora Patagonia National Park is the definition of getting away from it all.
This is a sustainable haven off the tourist trail right on Mother Nature’s doorstep – where a backdrop of undulating mountains and boundary of trees change their shade depending on the season. Follow in the legacy of its founders, Kristine and Douglas Tompkins, to whom conservation was a top priority. Search for rare and extraordinary wildlife during your stay, from pumas and condors to guanaco and foxes.
In a rarely visited region of Patagonia with magnificent peaks, Chile’s fastest-flowing rivers and lakes of all colours and shapes, adventure is an unlimited prospect. All activity levels are covered, from self-guided strolls and bike trails to full-scale mountain ascents, with a spa and three hot tubs awaiting your return after a thorough day exploring.
Eight double rooms and five suites are all you’ll find here; no noisy hotel corridors or crowded entrance halls. All rooms and suites remind you of where you are with views to the Tamanto and Tamanguito hills beyond – and the restaurant and grounds are no exception. Combine this with locally sourced wood, stone, and sumptuous bed linen and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a peaceful night’s sleep.
Eating here is an experience to remember, too. The menu, designed by renowned Latin American chef Pablo Jesús Rivero, is characterised by local ingredients from small suppliers in the region, establishing a strong connection with the environment allowing your taste buds to explore almost as far as your walking boots.
