Overview
Situated on a low rise above the shores of Lake Pehoé in the heart of Torres del Paine National Park, Explora Patagonia is an icon of "adventure architecture." Designed by Chilean architect Germán del Sol and opened in 1993, the white, ship-like structure was built to withstand the extreme Patagonian winds while maximizing views of the iconic granite massif. The design is intentionally minimalist and Scandinavian in its simplicity, utilizing native Lenga wood and slate to avoid competing with the raw power of the landscape. It was the first luxury lodge in the region and remains the only one located directly inside the park’s UNESCO-listed boundaries.
