Night sky watching in our own observatory; lunch surrounded by trees in the middle of the desert or by the seaside; horseback riding on horses specially trained for the Patagonia; or trekking along the Andean pampa are only some of the activities that the explora groups can experience.
Patagonia is the southernmost region of the American continent, and one of the least populated areas of the world. Civilizations with magical rites, sailors and pioneers have contributed to its fame. It is a mythical place, synonymous with exploration.
explora Patagonia is located at the heart of the Torres del Paine National Park, in Chilean Patagonia. The park is considered one of the most beautiful and unique territories in the world due to the variety and richness of its ecosystem. From hotels set outside the park, you can take up to 3 hours to reach the park entrance. Our unique and privileged location allows us to cut down on transportation, maximizing your time spent within the park instead of on the road.

Between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains, Atacama is an immense extension of land and mystery. Desert and oasis have been agents of repose and change for the pre-Columbian Andean cultures of South America. The remains of their past are landmarks in the area; their present sharing with other cultures in the maintenance of their traditions, gives life to small villages. Mountain ranges, volcanoes, salt flats and hot springs add splendor to the local culture.

“Having the chance to experience a connection with my work team in an environment that generated enormous serenity triggered many emotions and made us share feelings that were there, but that we didn’t have the chance to bring out before. That’s what I enjoyed the most during this experience. It was very enriching to be able to walk together, share new situations as a team and enjoy outdoors in a magical place like the Sacred Valley of the Incas”. Verónica Valderrama.
“The conference was a success! Those who went are always talking about it. The hotel services and meeting rooms were great and the explorations were extremely well chosen and well organized”. Federico Tagle.
