Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Explora
Parque Nacional Torres Del Paine, Magallanes, 6170000, Chile Fodor's Choice
There's no better location in the park than Hotel Explora: on top of a gently babbling waterfall on the southeast corner of Lago Pehoé with a shimmering lake offset by tiny rocky islets and a perfect view of Torres del Paine. Inside it doesn't disappoint either, with great service and an excellent spa. A dozen full-time guides tailor all-inclusive outings to Torres del Paine National Park. They're all fluent in English (some are expats), and they ferry you around in a fleet of imposing-looking vans. There is a minimum four-night stay, and the all-inclusive rate includes airport transfers, three meals a day, drinks, and excursions.
