Five Star Service -- Five Star Views!
The Explora, our home for a week in Torres del Paine, is a
spectacularly situated, lovely, all-inclusive resort. Even the food
was 5 star delicious. We shared our abode with Brits who regaled us
with their opines about their monarchy and ours. Our hikes were led by
handsome, charming and bilingual Chilean college grads who were very
knowledgeable about local wildlife and foreign hikers. The guides even
carried our lunch -- very decadent!

On the boardwalk in front of the hotel. We arrived in
low-hanging grey clouds completely obscuring the mountains and awoke the
next day to this stunning view. Pictures just don't do it justice. |
