EXPLORATIONS
Visits of unforgettable splendor and mystery,
in small groups, and in the company of a bilingual guide,
are selected by our guests every day.
A full experience that includes not only visiting Torres
del Paine National Park, but the area that surrounds Puerto
Natales, the local farms, sailing through the fiords, and
meeting the people and the culture of Patagonia.
In order to live this experience we have three types of programs:
three, four, seven, teen and fourteen nights.
EXCURSIONS
They are organized at the bar at around 7:00
pm, where visitors can meet our guides and plan their activities,
and depending on the weather, select their best option for
the following day. Each group is made of a maximum of eight
people, going by foot or hotel car, including a permanent
guide
We offer fourteen different tours, in a region that is a
real world reserve of beauty and culture, both within Torres
del Paine National Park, as well as beyond mountains, glaciers,
lakes, rivers and forests, towards cattle farms in vast prairies,
land of ancestral native cultures, nomad hunters like Onas
and Huilliches, or the Yamanas, fishermen and divers, who
have impregnated their geography with the stories and legends
that seduce today.s travelers, as much as they did the first
seamen and scientists, like Magellan and Darwin.
Our highly trained team of guides speaks both Spanish and
English. They are friendly and enthusiastic people who feel
that being a guide is a pleasure as much as it is their job.
They know when to respect silence, and their natural and cultural
environment, and they are trained to offer first-aid assistance
should it be needed.

REMOTA FACTS
Getting there: Take an international
flight to Santiago, Chile (SCL) followed by a 4 hour flight
from SCL to Punta Arenas (PUQ). Once in PUQ, an REMOTA representative
will meet guests and take them to explora's
transfer van. The van ride is approximately 2 ½ hrs
(250 km/ 155 miles) on a paved road from Punta Arenas to Puerto
Natales.
Climate:
The general climate in the region is maritime, with pleasant
temperatures during the summer and winter. During the rainiest
month, precipitation rarely exceeds more than 3.3 inches (85
millimeters). There is snowfall during the winter, but it
is usually light to
medium, and seldom impedes excursions. Wind is an important
factor, because it can blow as strong as 110 km per hour (70
mph), producing continually changing climactic conditions.
It can be raining and in a short while the wind will blow
out the clouds, leaving the resplendent sun. Winds typically
blow in from the west and are strongest during the end of
spring and during summer. There is hardly any wind during
the winter, save the occasional storm, and days are typically
radiant and clear. The majority of snow is found at higher
levels or the park, and lower levels and lake areas only see
a few weeks of thin snow cover per year.
