Journey to Explora Patagonia National Park
Created by Douglas and Kristine Tompkins, Patagonia National Park is an authentic hidden gem that exudes an intimate, peaceful and remote atmosphere. Here, nature flourishes in its most vibrant and thriving form, captivating visitors with pristine landscapes and extraordinary wildlife.
Located in the heart of Chile’s Carretera Austral, in a barely explored sector with majestic mountains, Chile’s fastest-flowing rivers and lakes with unique colors and clarity, the variety and number of explorations is practically unlimited.
Recently named a 2024 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Award winner and World’s Leading Lodge 2024 by the World Travel Awards, Explora Patagonia National Park offers an intimate, private retreat in southern Chile’s must-visit Chacabuco Valley.

Led by our expertly trained bilingual guides, these experiences and exclusive adventures include hiking to hidden mountain lagoons, e-biking among guanacos, kayaking on crystal-clear rivers, and breathtaking helicopter rides over ice fields. Every Exploration is customized daily to match your interests and fitness levels, promising a personalized adventure in Patagonia National Park.

A visit to Patagonia National Park offers incredible wildlife viewing opportunities. A sanctuary born of critical rewilding and conservation efforts, the park is home to playful and photogenic guanacos as well as rare species like the endangered huemul deer and ñandú. Other notable wildlife includes condors, armadillos, foxes, and flamingos, all thriving in the park’s expansive grasslands and varied ecosystems. Though they pose no threat, you may be fortunate to also spot pumas silently patrolling the park.
