Tour Operator
We believe remote areas aren’t just far away. They are a chance to withdraw and detach from everyday life, observing our existence from afar. The distance seems to reorganize the different aspects of our life, putting them into perspective, widening our horizons and filling us with fresh, new ideas. We want our travelers to interact and engage not only with reason, but also with senses, emotions and physical activity. Our passion for in-depth explorations requires appropriate guidance, which is why our guides are fundamental at explora. n a world where imitations proliferate, we offer the luxury of getting close to something in its original state.
