As expected based on our knowledge of the Explora experience, everything was done with a superior level of care and thoughtfulness. The stunning landscape combined with professional and knowledgeable guides, excellent food, varied experiences tailored to our wants of the day and overall level of service made for an incredible trip for our family!

Our holidays in Explora Patagonia were just amazing! We never imagine such an incredible experience. This was our first time getting closer to outdoor activities. Before the trip we doubted if we would be able to handle expeditions at the proper level and the truth is that explora guides make you feel comfortable as amateur explorer, inviting you to give your best in every new adventure. Without notice you can find yourself pushing your abilities to the highest and finally discover all you need is the will to enjoy nature. One of the programs we chose was a full day expedition to Alto del Toro. Benjamin our expert guide lead us along the way…it was not an easy one! We crossed by wonderful landscapes, between hills, lakes , flora and forest. Our expectation was to have the chance to find a Puma near by …but surprisingly we met a Geoffroy! One of the most rare species to see during day time! We were astonished!!!! Nervous & happy….grateful to had that unique opportunity. Only 6 seconds last that encounter …but for sure will be forever in our trip memories.Thanks to the great team at Explora Patagonia!

Words can't describe the view of the hotel as you drive towards it because it is truly a perfect combination of the natural landscape and sensitive architecture that seeks to align the beauty of the surrounding majestic mountains with the outline of the hotel structure. The interior was just as impressive with a very tall building space and contemporary lines. Despite the large space, the warmth and homeliness of the lodge were not only embodied in the decor but in the many friendly staff who welcomed and ensured you were looked after every step of the way. The guides were experienced, friendly and knowledgeable and most importantly you always felt safe and taken care of on the hikes. The restaurant at the lodge had an incredible view over the expansive private corn fields and served an excellent menu throughout the day and evening. The fire was on during the evenings and as I sat there drinking my pisco sour and snacking on the canapes after a wonderful day of exploring the Andean countryside and mountains, my only thought was.... can’t wait to do it all again tomorrow.

This is our second stay at Explora, the first one being last September in the Atacama Desert, Chile; it was everything we anticipated, expected, and more. The guides, staff, everyone made sure we had no want during our stay. The setting is beautiful and there are plenty of excursions offered at every possible level - strolls, hikes of various difficulties from easy to challenging, bike rides, overland excursions and very likely, they will try to accommodate just about any 'excursion' you come up with (within reason!) I particularly like that there is no minimum number of participants for any of the excursions; here at Sacred Valley, the same as during our stay in Atacama, there were no qualms or objections when I was the only one interested in a particular outing. We stayed 4 nights and could have definitely stayed longer; however, due to no fault of Explora, the trip to Machu Picchu felt rushed.

Explora is a pioneer of the luxury adventure experience. They work hard to be good stewards of the surrounding environment. They shine in providing support for guests outings, including transportation for one way hikes, and providing guides no matter how small the group. I did 3 trips with just the guide, driver, and myself.

We went for the excursions and surely we liked all of them, guides are knowledgeable, capable to put everybody at ease and the excursions possibilities are limitless. The only problem, we stayed only three days, we should have programmed to spend more time. All the rest is well organized and thought to allow you to have the best San Pedro experience.

Our time staying at explora Rapa Nui was so beautiful and peaceful. From the lovely architecture of the hotel to the fabulous guides, our trip was remarkable in every way. Even though it is a long flight to get here, Easter Island's remoteness is very attractive. It is serene, green and pleasant weather. The history of the island is fascinating. Our hikes and talks with the guides were fun and stimulating. We were really surprised how at home we felt there!

Rapa Nui is a unique convergence of culture, art, history, and geography. It is a powerfully remote experience that anyone with the good fortune of traveling there will recognize in an instant. But this experience is one that is made truly special through an environment that combines an atmosphere and air that breathes life into each encounter and each interaction. The ‘Explora’ culture has captured a balance unique to the grace of a special place such as Rapa Nui… The comfort and amenities are natural. More importantly…the guidance through the experience is profoundly connected to the depth of being there.
