Patagonia National Park
Created by Douglas and Kristine Tompkins, the 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, our lodge offers a unique experience of connection with nature.
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.
Our Lodge
Located in a privileged site, the Explora lodge offers you an intimate and private atmosphere in this sector of Patagonia. Here you will be able to disconnect and tour the different hills and valleys. The lodge is part of a self-sustainable project, so its building materials were stones from local quarries, recycled wood, and copper for the roofs.

Unravel the Patagonia National Park, a remote territory with the experts. Our guides are qualified under the highest of standards by our exclusive Explora school of guides.
Our long-established presence in remote South America has shaped our knowledge on the territory, on exploration, and on conservation. Such know-how is vital for making sure our existence in the world’s most precious treasures only makes them bloom even more.
Still preserving the most exceptional experience for the explorer.
The lodge created by Douglas and Kristin Tompkins reflects what we beleive. Luxury is about having all the means necessary to make the most out of the experience, such as a cozy, welcoming environment, a local gastronomic experience and surrounded with remote and pristine nature.
This is why every Explora lodge behaves as a haven of rest and restoration amid the remote – to make sure each day in the territory is lived to the fullest.
Vast territories like Patagonia tend to be dotted with private enclosures and estates. These large portions of land are often simultaneously the most productive and economically attractive, while also offering some of the best potential for biodiversity conservation. Their safeguarding is therefore critical, as they cradle highly dynamic –and fragile– ecosystems
Present in the most precious locations of remote South America, we connect them all in an ever-exchanging network, so you can explore and discover in even greater depth.
With lodges in multiple positions across the continent, explorers can feel free to combine more than one destination in a single journey and craft a truly original and broad exploration experience.
