UK magazine names hotel in Torres del Paine Park among top 100 best in the Americas

Explora-Patagonia Hotel Salto Chico has a spectacular view of the park’s three iconic towers

The prestigious British magazine Condé Nast Traveller has nominated the Hotel Salto Chico in Chilean Patagonia among the Americas and Caribbean best hotels.

The ranking was done by the readers of the magazine who nominated the world’s best hundred hotels based on service and exotic passion to travel.

Over 25.000 magazine readers and subscribers voted the list and gave the Explora Patagonia group Hotel Salto Chico 76.83 points, making it the only hotel in Patagonia and in Chile to reach the top 100.

The hotel located in Torres del Paine National park has been designed as the right starting point base for foot and riding exploration, organized every day of the year and in which the traveller can choose the degree of challenge and climatic conditions he wishes to enjoy.

Explora-Patagonia is virtually at the end of the world and delivers its travellers the possibility of deep interaction with the environment, a characteristic which precisely underlines the philosophy of the three hotels which the company has in Chile, in Easter Island, to the extreme north next to the Atacama desert and in Patagonia in Torres del Paine which has been declared by Unesco a Biosphere Reserve.

The Explora-Patagonia hotel is next to the Salto Chico water falls and has a privileged view of the Paine Mountains and the three towers which have the Park’s name. The hotel was opened in 1993, has 50 rooms and is naturally assimilated into the rugged Patagonian scenario.
