Explora Torres del Paine Patagonia

Excellent location. Great service. Book other resorts owned by explora near by to have a better experience. Need a better website and ability to interact with individual lodges directly to organise your hikes before arrival. Very helpful staff , attention to details Great food. Have a shop on site in case you forget something .

From the location to the food to the activities to the accomodation but mostly to the staff here...this place is truly top of the list and first class! Simply cannot recommend them enough! If you are even slightly considering Explora...GO!!!

The area is spectacular, the view from the hotel about the most beautiful I've ever seen. We stayed first at the Explora El Chalten then used the hotel transport van to go to Torres del Paine, which was great as Patagonia is huge and hard to get around. [Note: 25% discount on 2nd Explora lodge visit on same trip.] The staff is excellent, professional and friendly, and guides are top-notch. The hotel is comfortable w/ lots of places to sit, store well-stocked w/ cold weather gear, food and wines excellent, and I love that once you get there, everything's included. Hotel is comfortable but not super luxurious (good bed, wonderful linens, but rooms small-ish) and not the least pretentious...I loved it but it's not for everyone. My one criticism is there are not enough lower-paced activities; I'm in pretty good shape, but 5'2" and not young; since husband is 6' and great hiker, I'd expected to spend more time at the spa & pool, but it's 127 steps down the hill so not easy to pop down, tho you can request a van to pick you up so at least you don't have to climb back up post-massage or swim.

The views from the hotel are incomparable! The hikes are easily reached and accompanied by great guides ! The Spa is quite a walk from the hotel , but the Sauna , dips in the ice cold lake and jacuzzis are wonderful! The hotel is unfortunately a bit dated , the bathrooms small and the food not always inspiring. The Lamb Asado at the Cincho was fantastic. If you are a serious hiker , don’t think twice !

This all-inclusive facility is just great. Outstanding - location, site, lodge, staff, food and activities / explorations. The lodge is sited against a lake and river with views of the impressive and rugged mountains. The lodge is an architectural gem. Loved the hikes and horseback riding. Glacier Grey hike starts with a ride across Largo Pehoe on the Explora catamaran, nearly 8 mile hike and finally another boat ride on Largo Grey for an up close look of three faces of the glacier. A full day activity to the Quincho area for a hike, barbecue lunch and horseback ride was yet another highlight. The staff are friendly and helpful. There were so many WOW moments!
