Explora invites travelers to discover seven lodges across Chile, Peru, Argentina, and Bolivia, and to venture into remote territories such as the Sacred Valley, Tierra del Fuego, and the Icelandic highlands. Through in-depth exploration, we seek not only to reveal the soul of each landscape, but to foster conservation, deepen understanding, and inspire a lasting commitment to protecting the world’s most extraordinary places.
Encircled by both the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean, Patagonia spreads out across boundaries in the tip of South America. Find breathtaking lakes, fjords and glaciers in the west; and astounding deserts, tablelands and steppes in the east.
Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu are extraordinary locations with a monumental past. The calm, flowing waters of the Urubamba River pervade the heart of the ancient Inca Empire, meandering the valley’s flourishing natural beauty.
Perched high on the Andean plateau, the Altiplano could very well be on another planet.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995, Easter Island was once the setting of a thriving culture of its own – today, the iconic moai statues are the monumental traces of this ancient civilization, waiting to be unraveled.
Through the largest network of award-winning lodges in South America, we bring you closer to the most remote natural wonders and beyond. With nine lodges across Chile, Easter Island, Argentina, and Peru; one overland Travesía into Bolivia; and three expeditions—to Tierra del Fuego, the Sacred Mountains of the Incas, and Iceland’s Highlands—the Luxury of the Essential awaits.
Even in true wilderness, return each evening to welcoming spaces, locally rooted cuisine, and restorative wellness after a day of exploration.
Tailored to your interests and fitness level, we offer more than 30 half- and full-day explorations at each of our lodges, all included with your stay. Chosen day by day together with our Explora guides, each journey is designed for small groups of no more than eight guests and crafted to delve deeper into the landscapes and culture of every destination.
Trained at our School of Guides, our bilingual experts carry a deep understanding of the territories we explore, from geology and ecology to wildlife and local traditions.
Explora’s lodges are all-inclusive, so you don’t worry about anything but exploring and connecting deeply with the territory.
