This place is absolutely heaven on earth. Unbelievable location, killer lodge, great staff, awesome hikes, superb food, giant (and I mean giant) mountains EVERYWHERE! I've done a lot of hiking and have gone to a lot of eco-lodges in my day but this place is seriously off the chain. I'd go back every year if I could - and I might. You MUST go! Forget the cost, forget the distance - JUST GO!

We spent 3 nights in mid-April...and during our stay were able to experience all 4 seasons. Great location. Great staff. Daily excursions fantastic...able to choose based on desired level of effort. I did all day hikes, while my wife chose shorter ones. Fantastic horseback riding opportunities. Personable guides with small groups. All-inclusive food and drinks...very good! Round trip transfers included, appreciated due to remote location. Nice lake/riverside spa.... a bit of a walk from hotel. Outdoor hot tubs on the water much appreciated after those long hikes. Very comfortable and clean rooms. Fantastic views everywhere. Definitely not roughing it here! I would highly recommend for active people looking for a comfortable way to experience TdP up close, and for those looking to meet like-minded travelers from around the world.

The concept of Explora is to experience the Sacred Valley and all it has to offer in the most authentic and active way, combined with the 'luxurious home' that is the hotel. Moreover, this concept has been executed to the highest quality level: the hikes are varied (nature, history, local ambiance), the guides are very well informed and enthusiastic, the rooms are spacious and super comfortable, the food is delicious and healthy, the overall space is spectacular and the service is familiar and attentive. This was our first time at Explora and we will definitely go find another of their destinations.

This is the second Explora property at which I have stayed (Easter Island being the other). It was phenomenal! Beautiful architecture, excellent service, eco-friendly, great food and terrific, customized daily half-day or full-day expeditions. We were a family group of 8 but also saw couples and other family groups there. Just a delight. The staff was super accommodating to all levels of activity. I HIGHLY recommend you spend a few nights here!

I have visited over 300 locations worldwide and very few even come close to the experience my wife and I had at the Explora Atacama. The excursions are amazing. There are many to choose from, each with a uniqueness. The excursion coordinator, Consuelo, the heart and soul of the excursions, possible the resort, made it her mission to make sure we had the time of our life. She was deeply involved with each day treks. She convinced us to work up to and try a high-altitude climb, which I did. It was unbelievable. Each trek was a world unto itself, including, animals, rock formations, history, geysers, hot springs, etc. It was truly amazing. She even had the newer people doing everything to make sure we were attended to and very happy. One of her new associates, Moritz, always greeted us with a smile and new ideas. I have never stayed at a place in my life where there was so much dedication to our happiness. The meals were really nice and the service was impeccable. There was a manager, Carolina, who checked on us multiple times daily to make sure all was well and we were having a great time. She knew our names and would seek us out. It was truly amazing.

We arrived at Explora Atacama with great ambition and high expectations, as we had previously visited Explora Patagonia and found it to be a transformative hospitality experience. We were so pleased that our expectations were met and exceeded. The warm welcome we received from Maureen, the gracious and charming manager, after a long (and snowy!) journey across the Andes, set the tone for the entire visit. The Explora Team - from the guides, to the waiters, to the hospitality staff - are warm, engaging, and genuine. The Explorations are varied and fascinating, and the guides move deftly and expertly from geology to flora to fauna to history, depending on your interest. The guest orientation, which was something new for us, was fabulous, and one of our favorite parts of each day was the planning session in the Guide Room for tomorrow's excursions. Stargazing is a real treat. The food is healthy and well prepared, and the bar - THE BAR!! - is a spirited place to gather at the end of an eventful day, with the friendliest bartenders on the planet. It is truly unfair to single out any particular member of the extraordinary Explora team, but we are especially grateful to our Spirit Guide, Cecelia, who capably led us through a high-mountain ascent that truly pushed our boundaries.

I don't think we've ever felt better cared for.

After an amazing 5 days at Explora Patagonia (in the Torres del Paine National Park) we flew to Easter Island for another great Explora experience - 5 days at this delightful Eco-lodge. As with Patagonia, the prices are high but all is included, and no extra charge for the delightful views! The guides were excellent as were all the excursions. These were tailored to the capabilities of each guest. The sights and sounds of the island are wonderful. 5 days was by no means too long - we found it just right. A real 'bucket-list' destination.

Three nights in mid-March. All was superb, especially the food (fresh, varied, luxurious, delicious) and the guides (very knowledgeable and enthusiastic). Service top notch in restaurant, bar, rooms, drivers, everywhere. Room was spacious and comfortable. Infinity edge pool and spa were the real sleepers, very well done and a pleasant change after hiking. Yes, it’s expensive, but well worth it.
