If you can afford it go here, nothing else in the park compares. Amazing location, pretty decent food and plenty of variety for your trekking and/or horseback riding. Everyone there is very nice and accommodating (perhaps too accommodating to a specific German couple). Overall, I second everyone else who has written that this is an experience not to be missed,... more

My wife and I have traveled extensively in nearly every continent, and this experience was one of the best of the best. We stayed for 5 days/4 nights in November, 2009, in a "standard" room. The interior of the room was comfortable and well-appointed, but nothing special; the view out the window was mind-blowing, with changing beauty in rain, sun,... more

Traveling solo I was unsure if I was going to be surrounded only by couples being made feel awkward, but I can assure you even if you are traveling solo, this lodge will live up to your expectations. All guests arrive on the same day and have a four night minimum stay, this gives it a very communal feel and... more

This is a trip you´ll have a great doubt; to explore the Torres del Paine National Park in some of the various out-door programs offered by the Hotel or stay inside the Hotel Salto Chico. But whatever you chose you'll be certainly sucessful because that´s an excellent Hotel in a wonderful landscape. Everything is carefully prepared; the meals, the tours...... more

Response to critic by 6832white: First of all I am sure I speak on behalf of thousands of explora past guests and fans when saying that I find your comments very unfair and out of place. When you first contact explora, you know what they offer, what they do not offer and what to expect. Just to make it clear,... more

Just spent 4 nights in EXPLORA Salto Chico combined with 3 nights EXPLORA Atacama. Ok no one in the world will complain about the view of Cuernos del Paine from the rooms at Salto Chico and the ever so perfect location of the hotel. For this alone, the hotel deserves to be in its current rating of top 100 hotels... more

Not to be missed. Absolutely worth the incredible distance that you have to travel (at least from outside of South America). Really best if you enjoying hiking and/or riding. We had an incredible stay here, and simply cannot compliment the staff enough. They were excellent. Actually also stayed here right after it opened in 1995, and the beauty hasn't changed,... more

We finished our 25 day South American adventure with 4 nights in Explora Patagonia being suggested by our travel advisor as the finishing point of our journey before we flew back to Australia. We were a bit hesitant given we had to fly such a distance but we said what the [--] "lets just do it"! To our travel advisors... more
