Between the Pacific Ocean and the Cordillera de los Andes, Atacama is an immense extension of land and mystery. Desert and oasis have been agents of repose and of change for the pre-Columbian Andean cultures of South America. The remains of their past are landmarks in the area; their present shares with other cultures in the maintenance of their traditions, giving life to small villages. Cordilleras, volcanoes, salt flats and hot springs add natural splendor to human culture.

Explora actively introduces guests in the great scenarios of South America, through well prepared exploration program. Its base is a hotel built for linking man with temporary space -present and past- and the mysteries of nature. To travel is to pass, to arrive and leave. Architecture is permanence, freedom and security.
Close to San Pedro de Atacama village, the hotel is located in Ayllu de Larache, on an ample terrain of more than 17 hectares (42 acres), formed by 20 small immemorial properties, whose trace has been respected and maintained as a historical testimony that explora wants to upkeep. Its architecture makes it burst with life. The hotel develops along a main building and three patios. Corridors meet in the main building, crossed by two ample passages: the Pasaje de la Luz and the Pasaje del Agua.The architecture evokes, from the materials used in its construction together with its form, the suggestions made by the nature and cultures of the area. The hotel assures hospitable refuge inviting to enjoy in freedom and security. More than a home, the hotel is an experience, an open balcony towards the surrounding beauty. Accomodations 50 luxury rooms, jacuzzi and sitting area.

Once you leave San Pedro towards the altiplanos and the volcanoes, you can truly perceive remoteness, where one experiences an entirely different world, an untamed place far from civilization as we know it. The altiplano is more a metaphor than a geographical entity. More than a physical exploration, the trip through the altiplano is a spiritual exploration inside oneself in a unearthly world. The altiplano shows that behind the complexity of life there exists a simplicity that leads us to reconsider our place within the grand scheme of things. And that is what makes the trip to Atacama one of the most magnificent things that one can ever be able to realize.
