Amid
the oasis of San Pedro de Atacama in the northernmost
part of Chile, explorers will find comfort and top
quality amenities at the beautiful explora Hotel de
Larache. Built in the local style with adobe and open
aired breezy stone patios, the explora atacama lodge
is its own oasis of modern conveniences, gourmet food
and all the luxuries to soothe tired muscles after
exploring the surrounding desert. Cool off in one
of the seven elegant pools set among quince and pear
trees and swaying pampas grass.
Explora's
main building, tastefully decorated with locally woven
tapestries and artisan crafted pottery is open and
airy, with ample sitting room on colorful overstuffed
couches. In the evenings, the bar is the meeting place
to relax and plan the next day's excursions before
dining on light, healthy gourmet fare in the dining
room. The rooftop terrace is perfect for taking a
Pisco Sour and stargazing among a cloudless blanket
of night sky. Combine both Explora Lodges, in Patagonia
and Atacama, in our Explora
Explorer for a truly spectacular experience in
Chile.
Hotel de Larache has 52 luxury spacious rooms with
Jacuzzi, sitting rooms and ample natural light with
wood and tile accents, plush linens, down comforters
and custom designed furnishings. Colorful stained
wood and wicker adorn the rooms and common areas.

mountain
bike, horseback
ride, or ride in a van. With 6-8 excursions every
day to choose from, there will undoubtedly be several
left for a return visit. Lockers in the lobby allow
guests to keep excursion gear safe and handy.
