To travel is to pass, to arrive and leave.  Architecture is permanence.  The hotel assures hospitable refuge inviting to enjoy the various and disperse, in freedom and security.  More than a home, the hotel is an experience, an open balcony towards surrounding beauty.  In a desert, the hotel is water; in the burning sun, it builds a shadow.

explora is a foundational experience of architecture in the remote.   Atacama produces an encounter between nature and men, between moving and stopping, between the ephemeral and what remains.
