Aug. 11, 2007 - PRLog -- 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.
