Excursions: 30+ explorations included with your stay
Torres del Paine in Its Full Dimension
From Base Torres to the Grey Glacier, and far beyond, discover a different perspective of the national park. Our Explorations reveal not only the icons, but also the lesser-known corners: untouched valleys, quiet ridges, and open steppe where few others venture.
Ride alongside gauchos from our own stables, encounter wildlife up close, and experience Patagonia’s essence through classic and signature explorations designed to go beyond the expected.
The Northeastern Steppe
Exploring from the reserve grants you direct access to fossil-rich ridges and sculpted peaks of Sierra Baguales, one of the best regions in the park for observing pumas and native fauna. You may also choose to venture independently along our network of self-guided trails, for moments of stillness and personal discovery.
Each evening, our guides help you plan your next day’s journey according to your interests and comfort level, with small-group departures that ensure a more personal experience before returning to the lodge – your Patagonian basecamp for rest and reflection.

Explora’s team in Torres del Paine includes seasoned guides trained at our own School of Guides, Explora’s park rangers and local gauchos who grew up riding these territory. More than experts, they are hosts, bringing the region’s culture, knowledge, and rhythm to every day’s journey.
