Day 9
Continue with your 4-night explora Patagonia program.
In Patagonia, we explore all year long. Each season has its own charm, revealing new and distinct aspects of this remote place. Our explorations are what make us unique. We want you to interact and engage not only with reason, but also with senses, emotions and physical activity. We want things to happen. Our hikes and horseback rides are the quintessential way to explore and discover the landscapes, people and wildlife of this unique territory.
At explora Patagonia, we offer over 50 different guided hikes and horseback rides with different difficulty levels ranging from easy to expert, and different durations, half day or full day – all offering travelers breathtaking views of glaciers, lakes and mountains. Our explorations are carried out in groups of no more than 8 people, and a bilingual explora guide leads every exploration. All of our guides speak fluent Spanish and English, are very knowledgeable of their surroundings, and have the Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification, allowing them to provide expert aid to people in remote locations.
Every evening, our guides meet with you at the lodge bar or living room area. There, they will explain all of next day’s available explorations and help you choose the best option according to your interests and abilities.
Although Torres del Paine is home to peaks that reach a height of 3,000 meters (9,840 ft.), the lower plains of the park are just 46 meters (150 ft.) above sea level. All explorations take place at lower altitudes.
Some places we visit in our explorations include: Base Torres, Grey Glacier, French Valley, lake Pehoé, among others.
