At Explora, everything we do begins with an epic story of place. Since our founding more than three decades ago, our experts have zeroed in on rare destinations that express the extraordinary breadth of South America and beyond, allowing us to deliver a uniquely immersive form of Exploration — the kind that can only be shaped by those who call this continent home. Born in and of these lands, we know and continuously study each dynamic valley, coastline and plateau, choosing unspoiled destinations and routes that are nothing short of spectacular, while honoring all that is in need of our protection.

Our award-winning lodges are thoughtfully designed to reveal the landscapes that surround them, immersing you in the luxury of the essential while connecting you to the beauty, scale and cultural richness of South America. Whether you choose to settle into one destination or connect multiple regions, every Explora stay opens the door to an epic story of place — with striking architecture, seamless comfort and transfers as well as every expert-led Exploration, exceptional meal and glass of wine included.
For those who dream of going even further into the world’s most pristine and boundless frontiers, we created small-group Expeditions and a bespoke Travesía. Featuring ideally timed departures, our Expeditions are intimate point-to-point journeys for a maximum of eight people, taking you far off the tourist trails in South America and beyond — often on routes pioneered by our experts — to discover places where humans rarely set foot. On our exclusive Travesía, venture across the Bolivian salt flats on a journey that combines three intimate Explora-owned mountain lodges. Both are fully customizable for private groups.
At Explora, conservation is not simply an initiative, but rather a way of being. As a Certified B Corporation backed by decades of responsible exploration, our work — including our numerous conservation projects — is guided by a deep commitment to protect and restore the landscapes and cultures that welcome us. These include Explora’s Puritama Conservation Reserve in the Atacama Desert and our Torres Del Paine Conservation Reserve, protected sanctuaries that ensure these special places endure for generations to come.
