OUR ROOMS
OUR ROOMS
As one of few luxury lodges in Patagonia, we believe our attention to detail sets the stage for an unforgettable experience. Our Patagonia accommodations are spacious yet intimate, promoting deep rest and relaxation. After a long day of exploring, you’ll find tranquility and utmost comfort whether you choose a standard room or suite.
The Explora lodge provides numerous natural amenities in a rustic-elegant atmosphere. Stone and wood are the primary construction materials, allowing the lodge to blend with its surroundings in the Chacabuco Valley. The lodge overlooks the Chacabuco Mountain range, offering views of Mount Tamanguito and Mount Tamango – the largest peak dominating the picturesque landscape.
Guest rooms at our lodge also offer stunning views of the surrounding gardens, grasslands, and rugged Patagonia nature with lots of fauna. You can spot native species like guanacos, caranchos (a long-legged bird of prey), and even pumas at times. Travelers wondering where to stay in Patagonia will find everything they’re seeking and more at the Explora lodge.
CONSERVATION LEGACY
CONSERVATION LEGACY
When Kristine and Douglas Tompkins first visited Patagonia’s Chacabuco Valley in 1995, they felt passionate about preserving this region. The National Forestry Corporation (CONAF) had already named the area a conservation priority for its many diverse ecosystems. Although, in 2004, the Tompkins were able to solidify the Conservation Patagonia foundation. The foundation protects this unique region and the many native species that call it home, like guanacos, pumas, Andean condors, and huemul deer.
You’ll likely feel the same desire to conserve the Chacabuco Valley when you arrive at the Explora lodge. Our knowledgeable guides take you off the beaten of Patagonia National Park. The area features inspiring natural beauty and rare wildlife, including more than 100 bird species.
With more than 40 explorations in Patagonia, you have countless opportunities to discover this protected region with Explora. Our explorations in the Chacabuco Valley and surrounding areas include hiking, biking, (also e-biking), kayaking and van-led excursions. You’ll explore lenga tree forests, turquoise rivers, snow-capped mountain peaks, and the area’s iconic pampas (grasslands). Hikes and explorations are available for all types of travelers with varying physical ability levels.
