Explora Patagonia National Park
Discover Patagonia Park at this intimate and exciting property
Part of the exceptional Explora family, the Patagonia Park Explora brings the same high-levels of comfort and sophistication with an exciting sense of adventure and submersion in the natural world. A self-sustainable project, the property was constructed and designed to reduce interference with the natural environment. Traditional Patagonian building techniques and local material were used as well as influences from sustainable properties in national parks around the world.
Located close to the northern ice fields and surrounded by spectacular rivers and lakes, this Patagonian destination opens the door to a magnificent yet virtually unexplored area. Set in pristine landscapes, this is the place to disconnect as you adventure into this beautiful national park. Excursions here range from high mountain ascents to gentle self guided walks. There are also overland journeys in the fleet of 4×4 jeeps. Combination explorations are also possible and you can try horse riding, biking and then even hop into a kayak to navigate the lakes and rivers close by.
The Patagonia National Park Explora is an intimate property with two suites and eight standard rooms. All of which have magnificent views to the Tamango and Tamanguito hills and calming green and grey colours of the park itself. The decor is simple, yet inviting and cosy with natural colours and textiles.
The gastronomy is a detailed and delicious part of the hotel. The restaurant and menu have been designed by famed Latin American chefs and encapsulate the region’s vast territories and cuisines along with flavours from the rest of the continent and beyond. Committing to their sustainability processes most of the products used come from nearby small suppliers and producers, lowering the environmental impact with fresh and recently harvested products such as vegetables, fruits, eggs, cheese and meats.
The restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and dinner along with brunch and snacks. Enjoy fresh light meals or hearty dishes cooked over fire in a traditional style used by Patagonia’s ancient inhabitants. After a day of exploration the bar is the meeting point for relaxing and sharing stories. Enjoy fine wines, pisco sours and enjoy the intimate, welcoming atmosphere.

Places to combine Explora Patagonia National Park with
Santiago
The Singular Santiago is a luxury hotel in the Lastarria neighbourhood of Santiago.
A sister hotel to The Singular Patagonia, The Singular Santiago is located in one of the artiest areas of the Chilean capital, Lastarria: the Museum of Fine Art, the Museum of Visual Arts, and the Gabriel Mistral Center are all within walking distance of the hotel.
It’s not just the location that’s appealing: the rooftop pool provides a scenic setting in which to both cool down after a day exploring Santiago and take in the view; the spa offers post- or pre-long-haul flight massages; and the Singular Restaurant serves French dishes alongside local specialties, such as Guanaco and Penca, to keep the flavour decidedly Latin. The ninth-floor Sky Bar is the perfect place to polish off a day in Lastarria.
There are 62 rooms: the Patio Rooms and the Classic Rooms overlook the Plaza Mulato Gil, and the Deluxe Balcony Rooms have views across the Parque Forestal. All rooms at The Singular benefit from stylish decor and all the mod-cons you could wish for, including wireless internet, LCD TVs, large and comfortable beds, and well-equipped, spacious marble bathrooms.
Torres del Paine
It’s this hotel’s bizarrely beautiful shape, designed to imitate that of a sun-bleached fossil on the ruggedly wild shores of Lake Sarmiento, which makes Tierra Patagonia such a striking place to stay. In fact, this sustainable lodge is known worldwide for its innovative architecture, which blends naturally into the landscape. The revitalised pampa, where the complex is based, has benefited from great conservation efforts, as well as focus on minimising footprint in this beautiful area.
This impressive blonde-wooded, design-led ‘shell’ houses 40 simple yet sophisticated Scandinavian-style rooms. Their exposed timber interiors create a tangible Sauna-like warmth that contrasts well with the views of the desolate pampas outside. There are family apartments of two adjoining rooms available, as well as the extensive Uma Spa, which is particularly welcomed after a hard day hiking the Torres del Paine National Park, which is simple given the hotel’s superb team of guides and the varied activities on offer here. From horse riding to climbing, this great range of opportunities means you really can take full advantage of your truly magnificent surrounds.
