Explora El Calafate is set on a remote estancia outside the town of El Calafate, overlooking the steppe, the Andes, and the distant Perito Moreno Glacier. Opening in December 2026, this lodge is part of the Explora collection, with a design by José Cruz Ovalle that emphasizes a quiet connection to the landscape. The location offers a quieter perspective on southern Patagonia, away from the crowds.
