The Enviroment:
CHILE – Torres del Paine National park
The lodge is located right at the heart of the extraordinary Torres del Paine National Park in central Patagonia. The varied and untouched landscapes of this area led UNESCO to declare it a biosphere reserve. The hotel lodge opened in 1993 on the banks of the Salto Chico waterfall. It affords an excellent view of the unique Paine Massif and two of the three impressive torres, or towers, which give the park its name.
Being responsible
The hotel’s environmental policy arose from the desire to minimize the impact of all the operations on the area. From this starting point, the property have made a commitment to responsible environmental management to ensure that the use they make of natural resources is sustainable and that they effectively manage the waste they generate.
They also are committed to actively promoting the well-being and development of the local communities and their commitment can be seen on all of Explora resorts.
How you will reside
The lodge has 50 comfortable rooms, all with captivating views, silence and privacy. The sophisticated design incorporates native lenga wood (nothofagus pumilio) and cypress brought from the Guaitecas Archipelago, while the floor is made of almond wood. Each room has a small living area, hydromassage bath and beds designed for deep, pleasurable sleep after a day of exploration.
How you will eat
The cuisine offers authentic flavors based on the best-quality ingredients, many of which are produced locally. The food is healthy and well-balanced, ideal for people going trekking, horseback riding or on other explorations while staying with us at our Patagonia luxury hotel.
