A UNESCO biosphere reserve, the area features various untouched landscapes made up of rugged peaks, expansive lakes and some of the best hiking trails in the world. At Explora Patagonia, you’re constantly surrounded by the gentle hum of nature, as you overlook a surging waterfall and the river, and are flanked by soaring mountains.

Each room has a small living area, hydromassage bath and beds designed for a deep sleep after a day of exploration.
