Found the place reasonably priced considering all it includes and the pampering that comes with the experience. Had little expectations about the desert and I had been told that Explora Patagonia and the area was much better in every sense. It did not find that to be the case. Both locations are remarkably different and beautiful in its own way....

We all have very high expectations when we pay almost 1,000USD per day in a hotel. I must say that the facilities were very good, I will try to describe them first:
The hotel lobby and restaurants are very cozy. Food and beverage were impecable, altough I think they should have a larger choice of wines. They did have a...

Explora is not a hotel - it was a life changing experience for me and my wife! And Hotel de Larache feels like home. The hotel's architecture and interior design are only outdone by the environs. Every day a new activity took our breath away, literally and figuratively. In short, every aspect of the experience - hotel, staff, food and...

Explora Patagonia was such an amazing experience we had pretty high expectations of Explora Atacama and we were not disappointed one bit. One could easily just spend time absolutely chilling out in the luxurious surrounds but we chose to do some really amazing treks that challenged our fitness. Spectacular, exhilarating, life-changing. They were that good. Love the hot soup during...

Spent several days here a couple of weeks ago. The hotel is fantastic - beautiful, energy-efficient architecture, amazing food (all-inclusive), friendly staff. The location is amazing and the excursions were breath-taking.

My first time at a Explora hotel was in Easter Island in 2010. The best experience ever.
So this time I had to choose. Will I go to Atacama or Patagonia. Although it is sad to say but the fire in Patagonia made me choose to go to the Explora hotel in Atacama. And it was great.
As a returning...

We were so lucky to stay at this wonderful hotel in paradise. We loved the total experience. The guides were all very knowledgable making the excursions so worthwhile. We loved all the meals, the wine and the lacing atmosphere. We met some lovely people who were all so enthusiastic. We will definitely be back, even though it's a trek. Due...

Dear traveler –
Thank you so much for your kind review of explora Atacama.
The strong rainfalls caused our operation to come to a standstill for approximately 36 hours, caused some damage to our wine bar and heavily impacted the Termas de Puritama, forcing a temporarily shot down. Despite of the difficulties, our team regrouped and designed new ad hoc...

Claudia at the reception was such a help after we found out our so called specialist (Latour N.Y) had not left us enough transit time in Santiago to go back to the States.
The last day...

Dear traveler ,
We are grateful for your kind review of your explora Atacama experience.
As a rule of thumb, you need to allow 3 hours of transit time in Santiago in order to comfortably connect back to the United States. Latour is one of our most reliable partners in the U.S. and we have only heard good comments about...

We stayed at explora atacama for 5 nights and in retrospect with so much to do easily could have spent a week. This is what distinguishes Atacama from Rapa Nui, while Rapa Nui is wonderful, 4-5 nights should suffice for most to feel like they've seen the island, there is so much variety at Atacama, the more time the better....

Dear traveler,
We are thrilled about your kind review. As for the length of stay, I agree that if a traveler aspires to include high mountain climbing in their explora experience, they should stay a minimum of 5 - 7 nights. Allow me also to point out that we receive a lot of travelers, who believe they won’t be able...
