Explora Patagonia National Park
Into the wild heart of Patagonia National Park
Set deep in Chile’s Chacabuco Valley, Explora Patagonia National Park is a remote 13-room lodge in one of Chilean Patagonia’s most important conservation areas. Once part of a vast livestock ranch, the valley is now protected as part of Patagonia National Park.
The lodge has been designed using locally sourced stone, reclaimed wood and recycled copper roofs. Inside, the style is simple, warm and elegant with views towards Mount Tamango and Mount Tamanguito.
There are more than 30 guided adventures available, led by expertly trained bilingual guides and tailored to your interests and fitness level. You might hike to hidden mountain lagoons, e-bike through the park and kayak on clear rivers.
The park is home to guanacos, condors, armadillos, foxes, flamingos and rare species such as the endangered huemul deer and ñandú. During guided walks, keep your eyes open for wildlife across the grasslands. You may even spot pumas moving quietly through the park, though sightings are never guaranteed.
The lodge offers Chilean wines and Patagonian cooking inspired by the region’s gaucho culture. Expect fresh meals made with locally sourced ingredients. We especially recommend ending the day in one of the outdoor hot tubs, with the mountains all around you.

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.
