Explora Patagonia
Torres Del Paine National Park is considered as one of the world’s most beautiful natural areas, encompassing more than 240,000 hectares in the heart of the Chilean Patagonia region. Explora Patagonia, with its exclusive location and highly privileged views was designed as the perfect base for exploration of this unforgettable region. Explora Patagonia offers all the comforts of a first class resort, achieving the perfect balance of elegance and style combined with comfort and quality. Featuring handmade furniture made with local materials by local artisans this impressive architectural feat is reflective of the area it is in. Hotel facilities include saunas, a swimming pool, a private pier, boats and mountain bikes. The hotel even boasts an outdoor jacuzzi. Imagine, in the middle of winter, sipping a delicious Chilean wine while relaxing in the jacuzzi, surrounded by snow and stunning views!

Day 1 Punta Arenas or Puerto Natales – Torres del Paine National Park
You will be met on arrival at Puerto Natales (closer to Torres del Paine Park), or Punta Arenas, Airport by a representative who will take you to your lodge (Patagonia Camp, Explora Patagonia, Tierra Patagonia, Awasi Patagonia, Hotel Las Torres, Estancia Cerro Guido).
If flying into Punta Arenas there is a 3 and half hour drive to get to Torres del Paine. During the drive in you will have plenty of time to admire the Patagonian steppe with its guanacos and snow-peaked mountain horizon. If flying into Puerto Natales you’re already on the edge of the park. We recommend at least 3 nights, and 5 or 6 nights is perfect – perhaps staying at two different lodges to really have the time to explore what Torres del Paine has to offer. Walks, treks, vehicle based safaris, mountain biking and horse riding are all options.
Most lodges offer a range of activities which you choose when you arrive at the lodge. Expert local guides will talk through the option and you choose what you want to do. Awasi Patagonia services are all provided on a private basis, just you and your own vehicle and guide. Tierra Patagonia offer both private and group activities.
Day 2-3 Torres del Paine
Today you will start to explore Torres del Paine National Park. The options are vast.
There are full day treks to Las Torres, Largo Grey and French Valley – for these you’ll need a reasonable level of fitness. There are numerous shorter and easier walking options too. You can take a vehicle based safari and visit several sites of interest, or go horse riding, mountain biking or even relax and enjoy the facilities at your chosen accommodation.
Our advice is not to limit your time as you’ll leave not having fully discovered what Torres Del Paine has too offer. A really good option is to combine two properties, maybe Tierra Atacama and Patagonia Camp – two unique properties located in different areas of Torres del Paine. The cuisine at both is of a very high standard – so after a day exploring you can be confident of having a delicious meal as you recount your day’s activities.
Day 4 Depart Torres del Paine for Punta Arenas
After breakfast check out of the hotel and transfer back to Punta Arenas Airport where your itinerary concludes. You may wish to add on a visit to the Atacama Desert or Chiloe Island onto this itinerary. Please contact our friendly travel agents to create a customised tour of Patagonia for you.
