In the explora's own words:
Our characteristic is that we are connoisseurs of our own land and its nature: the southern tip of South America. An unexplored territory, a place to find the secrets of the remote. We like freedom; we appreciate the traveler who can make his choices and discern, who tours the world with sensitivity and enthusiasm, open to observation and new experiences. We have selected a privileged natural setting; we have the precise experience to organize fascinating and safe explorations. Our Hotel has the necessary sophistication to allow our guests to enjoy all of life's pleasures. To us the world is still an enjoyable placed filled with the secrets and marvels of nature. |

OTHER FACILITIES:
Quincho (barbecue area)
Located at the entrance to the “2 de Enero” estancia, the quincho is the start point for some of our horseback rides. Here you can also enjoy some typical Patagonian cuisine: the preparation of barbecued lamb. Whilst the meat slowly cooks, you can share “mate” tea with the gauchos and listen to interesting stories about the area. It's worth the wait and a great Patagonia travel package.Estancia 2 de Enero (January 2 Ranch)
Patagonia is more than just pristine landscapes; it is home to the unique and legendary gaucho culture. You can drink “mate” tea with gauchos and watch them shear sheep, drive livestock, break in horses and carry out other typical ranching tasks on this 6,000-hectare (14,826-acre) estancia, which belongs to explora and is located 53 kilometers (33 miles) from the lodge.
