The Ultimate Exploration/Vacation Experience. Everything about our stay at Explora was beyond fantastic. My wife and I could not think of one thing we would change. Everything from the room, to all the service we received, the food, the surroundings was wonderful. But the most outstanding of all were the explorations each day. Every one was planned to perfection, incredibly enjoyable, and inspiring. AND the guides we had for each trip were beyond fantastic: knowledgeable, personable, enthusiastic and fun to be with!! Even all the drivers for the vans were wonderful. My wife and I had one of the best trips we've ever had. Everyone went out of there way to make sure we were having the best time possible. Thank you all so much for the great service you are providing to people who otherwise.

The essential as a voice of extreme elegance. The Explora network’s proposal is unique and original. From the architecture and decoration, to the quality of the meals and explorations, everything is impeccable and designed to reconnect us with nature. This includes taking care of the comfort of the room, where both the bed and the bathroom are the most comforting things we can find after the day's explorations.

Amazing hotel with brilliant explorations! We had an amazing time at Explora. The highlight was all the fantastic explorations that the guides take you on where you get to experience the best of the Sacred Valley. The guides take their time to help you select from over 40 different explorations to find the ones you’ll love most. A special shout out to Daniel who was the most brilliant and helpful guide, taking us on many explorations, providing detailed information about Inca construction and culture as well as going above and beyond to make sure we had a great time not just at Explora but all through Peru. Could not recommend more highly!
