1 EXPLORA PATAGONIA Chile

Perched amid the wild mountain terrain of Torres del Paine National Park, Explora Patagonia is bordered by Lake Pehoé, the Salto Chico Falls and the Paine River on the southernmost tip of the world. Its nearest city is Cerro Castillo, some 78 kilometres away, though the hotel coordinates ground transfers for guests from Punta Arenas or Puerto Natales airports. Curated to reconnect the adventurous heart with the natural world, the hotel offers an extensive menu of 40 exploration routes of its wild Chilean surrounds, designed and led by a team of outdoor specialists. These include walks through woods of lenga trees, riding horseback through the surrounding grasslands and rivers, and hikes that trail the Paine Massif, all without another soul in sight. explora.com
