Built on the Ayllú (neighborhood) de Larache in San Pedro de Atacama, the hotel develops along a main building and three patios. Rooms are lined up with corridors opening to a patio. Corridors meet in the main building, crossed by two ample passages: the Pasaje de la Luz and the Pasaje del Agua.
The architecture evokes, from the materials used in its construction together with its form, the suggestions made by the nature and cultures of the area. The hotel assures hospitable refuge inviting to enjoy in freedom and security. More than a home, the hotel is an experience, an open balcony towards the surrounding beauty.

Explorations
Each day explora guests can join a variety of
explorations which have been carefully created. Every day you can choose from 5 to 10 different options specifically selected according to the weather, the guest desires, the duration and the level of difficulty.
Walking, horseback riding, in a van or by bicycle and accompanied by guides, you can explore with emotion the nature or the history of Atacama.

Clothing
Explorations require clothing suitable for trekking.
Warmer clothing is necessary when climbing heights or for walking early in the morning or during the late afternoon. We recommend bringing all that’s necessary for protection from the sun.
• Fleece and windbreaker or parka.
• Short- and long-sleeved cotton shirts.
• Trekking pants (preferably ones that can be unzipped into shorts). We suggest thermal underwear for high ascents or to visit the geysers, especially during winter.
• Comfortable hiking boots with anti-slip rubber soles and sturdy ankle support to avoid possible sprains.
• Sneakers or sports shoes.
• Swimsuit.
• Flip-flops for use at the Termas de Puritama hot springs or at lakes.
• Sunglasses.
• Hat to protect yourself from the sun.
• Hat or headband to protect your ears from the wind or the cold when at the geysers.
• Sunscreen and lip protection.
• Backpack to carry sunscreen, camera, water, etc.
• For inside the hotel: light, informal clothing (the hotel is heated).
explora considers elegance an interior virtue.
