Explora Torres del Paine Conservation Reserve
Explora Torres del Paine Conservation Reserve, is a Patagonian sanctuary set on the edge of Torres del Paine National Park. Here, vast silence stretches across the steppe, wildlife roams freely, and distant peaks of the famous Torres rise above the horizon. This privileged location offers a gateway not only to the park’s most celebrated landmarks,…
Designed for immersion and exclusivity, the lodge – opening late 2026 – will have just ten rooms, each overlooking the sweeping landscapes of the steppe and the towering granite peaks. Warm interiors, serene common spaces and outdoor hot tubs will create a welcoming retreat after a day of exploration. In keeping with Explora’s concept, luxury here will be defined by simplicity: the stillness, remoteness, and deep connection to Patagonia without compromise on comfort.
Explorations will reveal hidden spots which are rich in wildlife outside of the Torres del Paine National Park boundary and which remain off most visitors’ itineraries, although the daily programme will still offer access to the well-known attractions of the Torres del Paine National Park. Guests will be able to explore on foot, horseback, or by overland vehicle. The lodge’s horses are bred for Patagonian terrain and cared for by skilled gauchos, provide a unique way to experience the region’s heritage from the saddle.
Back at your cosy base, dining will celebrate Patagonia’s rich culinary traditions, with seasonal menus and occasional asados prepared by gauchos, accompanied by Chilean wines.
