We are excited to discover a destination that will captivate the hearts of your customers: Patagonia National Park and the exclusive Explora Lodge Patagonia. Let me guide you through my personal experiences in this corner of the world.
“Traveling for hours in one place without seeing a person”
During my trip to the Patagonia National Park, I witnessed a natural spectacle that took my breath away. Vast valleys formed by the Chacabuco River extend here, forming a natural corridor dominated by nomadic peoples and an amazing variety of fauna since ancient times.
As a guide at Explora Lodge Patagonia, Vicente Subercaseaux tells me: “What fascinates me is the possibility of travelling for hours in one place without seeing a person, without seeing a car, without hearing people screaming or without seeing rubbish on the ground.” And I can confirm that this feeling of immensity and loneliness is a constant in this park.
The Explora-Guide Vicente Subercaseaux
The landscapes of Patagonia National Park are a mix of Patagonian steppe, mountain ranges that defy the sky, and forests of Lenga and Ñirres that break into a kaleidoscope of reds in autumn. Dozens of imposing lagoons and lakes, such as the Cochrane and the Jeinimeni, dot the landscape, bringing to life a beauty that literally captures you.
But the park is much more than a visual festival. Here, history is interwoven with nature. Large cattle ranches that once dominated the region are now giving way to reclaimed and abandoned areas that are home to one of the greatest biodiversity in the Chilean region of Aysén. It is a living testimony to one of the most important projects for the restoration of original ecosystems in Chile.

Vicente, who knows the area intimately, explains to me: “The indigenous people and last indigenous people in the world are those who were able to colonize places like Iceland, the Antarctica of Chile – and this place.” This connection to the roots of the region gives the travel experience a fascinating cultural dimension.
Discover Lodge Patagonia: luxury harmonizing with the environment and excellent service
To enhance the natural beauty of the park, Explora Lodge Patagonia offers luxurious accommodations that blend seamlessly into the surroundings. But Explora is not just a hotel, it is a philosophy that also extends to the prestigious in-house guide school.
