This was the first of three stops at lodges on our 3-week visit to Patagonia. It was the perfect place to start. And to start, it was the perfect Explora Lodge. The remoteness of the lodge and the park were perfect for us: we never saw any other hikers or paddlers during our excursions, only a handful of people stayed at the lodge (12 rooms in total) during the 5 days there.

The 6-hour journey to get there from the airport passed quickly with the beautiful scenery we crossed.

The food was truly amazing, and as a vegetarian, they prepared incredible meals for me.

The guides were very special in the care they took to ensure that the excursions fit well and with the knowledge they had of the flora and fauna and the legacy of the national park. And we saw A LOT of flora and fauna. A shoutout to Nico, who was a great guide and is now considered a friend.

We loved this northern part of Patagonia, very different from Torres del Paine, but equally extraordinary.

A very special lodge and park, and we are very happy to have visited and seen a bit of the place that Doug and Kris Tompkins created with so much passion and love.

"For travelers seeking a comprehensive, meaningful, and conservation-conscious experience. The lodge's location amidst the park, surrounded by guanacos, hares, diverse birdlife, and even an occasional puma, makes it an exceptional site. The service is extraordinary, with attention to every detail and guest's need, complemented by warmth, completing the personalized experience. The infrastructure, design, and decoration speak of understated luxury."

"Stunning location surrounded by mountains with a multitude of hikes nearby. The rooms are beautifully simple with large windows to the natural beauty outside. The staff are friendly, thoughtful, knowledgeable and willing to help with anything at all. Simple things are done very well and everyone seems to know your name, is interested in your experience and really loves the destination they are in."

Staying at Explora in Patagonia National Park was the best! The accommodation was clean, comfortable and warm (it was cold at night). The food was fresh and delicious and there was plenty of variety. The guides were fantastic! The whole experience was amazing. I would highly recommend it as a privileged location in the southern part of Patagonia. It was beautiful!

Excellent experience. The park is incredible. A beautiful place and the expeditions are amazing. We saw guanacos, ñandus, armadillos, eagles, a puma, and a truly amazing museum. 100% recommendable. The exquisite territorial cuisine is a true luxury, not to mention the staff.
