Explora
| explora was founded to encourage a new way of travel in the remote regions of the Southern tip of South America. We love nature and enjoy liberty, we suggest a philosophy of travel born out of the desire to explore the natural and cultural environment of the remote.
South America is one of the least-known areas in the world, as well as one of the least explored. It is a region open to our imagination, with much to discover: volcanoes, salt flats, 1000-year-old forests, lakes and rivers. At the same time South America offers a journey through history, as the cultures that originated here thousands of years ago have maintained their ways to this day.
|
In these privileged natural territories, explora offers travel programs to Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia, at the Hotel Salto Chico —explora en Patagonia—; to the altiplano and Atacama Desert, at the Hotel de Larache —explora en Atacama—; to Easter Island, at Casas Rapa Nui; and TRAVESIAS explora, which will give travelers the opportunity to explore other regions in South America that compliment our traditional programs: the Chilean and Bolivian altiplanos and The Salar de Uyun;crossing the Andes mountain range; and travesía in Chilean and Argentinean Patagonia.
We have the necessary training to organize explorations, with a spirit of adventure and attention to security. In our hotels the luxury is the simplicity that assures the enjoyment of the real pleasures of life. |
Philosophy
explora suggests a philosophy of travel born out of the desire to explore —for ourselves and our guests— the natural and cultural environment of remote regions at the Southern tip of South America. It is a vital experience. A feast for the senses, and repose for reason.
We do not expect the journey to reach a peak, aiming at points of maximal attraction, from which one only «returns» after arriving. For explora, the interest is in the journey itself. Every voyage will correspond to its nature. As in life itself, to enjoy every moment, we do not anticipate
the end. "We travel not only to arrive at a destination, but just for the pleasure of it".
|
We explore places whose mystery and splendor is unforgettable. We believe the best way to discover something new about the World, nature or ourselves, is to travel in small groups to enjoy first hand the inscrutable beauty of things.
The architecture of explora hotels makes it possible to inhabit the remote. It intends to reveal its mystery, without solving it.
Our foundation exposes the fragility of the remote. At the same time it offers the means for sustaining local traditions and preserves the quality of the environment. |
History
Back in 1993 explora was born from the dream of creating a relationship between South America, its people, and the rest of the planet. For more than ten years, explora has offered programs to travel in this faraway land: the first, in Patagonia, in Torres del Paine National Park, with the Hotel Salto Chico (explora en Patagonia). The other, since 1998, at the oasis of San Pedro de Atacama and the Hotel de Larache (explora en Atacama).
After years of sharing our passion for exploration with travelers from the six continents, explora has become a world-renowned concept. |
explora is lauded and promoted by industry leaders and specialized media as one of the most notable destinations in the world for life in the outdoors.
In 2005, explora took the step of proposing travesías explora, which allows travelers to visit and explore other destinations in South America. These new destinations in Argentina, Bolivia and Easter Island complement traditional programs, and deepen the travel experience in this one-of-a-kind region in the world.
