Expeditions in Chile to Remote Locations in Patagonia and the Atacama Desert

Press Release Body = Salvador, Brazil, Aug 10th --- Surprisingly, in the middle of
the remote wildernesses of both Patagonia and the Atacama Desert in Chile, you can
find two of the top hotels in the world: the Explora Salto Chico Hotel in Torres del
Paine National Park in Patagonia, and the Hotel de Larache in the Atacama Desert.
The Explora Salto Chico Hotel has been featured as one of the best hotels in the
world in the highly-regarded travel magazines Condé Nast Traveller and TRAVEL +
LEISURE, and the Explora Hotels in South America were voted the "Coolest Hotel
Chain" in GQ Magazine's June 2003 issue. Patagonia is considered to be the general
area south of the 40° parallel in South America. Known for its wild and striking
beauty, the area contains 15 national parks and stretches over a surface area of
more than a million square kilometers. South of the Strait of Magellan is known
collectively as Tierra del Fuego (Land of Fire) and the Chilean Patagonia has three
zones: the Lakes Region and Patagonia North and South, which are separated by the
Southern Ice Field. Throughout Chilean Patagonia, visitors marvel at its untouched
nature punctuated by deep valleys, volcanoes, lakes, forests, and glaciers. Located
several hours north of Patagonia, the Atacama Desert is an immense expanse of
wilderness and mystery. It is said to be the driest desert in the world, and
historically, pre-Columbian Andean cultures of South America settled in its oasis.
Cordilleras, volcanoes, salt flats, and hot springs add natural splendor to the
mysterious cultures that flourished there. Intelligent Leisure Solutions, an
internet-based travel solutions company that specializes in Central and South
America, now offers the adventurous luxury traveler the opportunity to explore both
the remote Chilean Patagonia region and the stark Atacama Desert while enjoying the
comfort, design, and style of Explora's two award-winning hotels. This luxury
vacation package in Chile presents a perfect balance of untouched natural beauty
with brilliant architectural design and world-class hospitality in two of the
world's most celebrated wildernesses.
This Patagonia and Atacama luxury vacation includes four nights accommodation at
the Explora Salto Chico Hotel in Puerto Natales on the shores of Lake Pehoé in the
Torres del Paine National Park, and three nights at the Hotel de Larache, winner
of the XII Architectural Biennial of Santiago de Chile, 2000. In both locations,
the hotels serve as luxurious and comfortable expedition bases for the numerous
explorations available in Patagonia and the Atacama Desert, like trekking,
horseback riding, mountain biking, mountain climbing, photo expeditions, and
wildlife watching. The hotels offer guided full-day excursions and photo safaris
accompanied by bi-lingual professionals and naturalists. In most cases, all the
gear that you will need for excursions are provided, and each hotel is equipped
with the "Sala de Exploradores" filled with maps, books, and guides to help
visitors research and further investigate the natural beauty at their fingertips.
All meals are included in this expedition and served in the hotels' dining rooms,
as well as all picnics and buffets during the exploration trips. A full open bar
along with a wide selection of wines are also included the price of the travel
package. Both hotels have full beauty, massage, and sauna services and four
connected outdoor pools. The interiors of these design hotels utilizes
traditional lenga and cypress woods, handcrafted slate and copper, and furniture
specially designed and made by local artisans. After exploring the countless
natural wonders in the wildernesses of the Chilean Patagonia and the Atacama
Desert, these two Explora Hotels provide their guests all of the style and comfort
imaginable in the breathtaking Chilean landscapes.
