2024 Impact Report
Words from Our CEO
As a B Corp, Explora is committed to delivering a triple positive impact—on People, the Planet, and, through adequate Profit. Profit remains a key indicator of any private company’s sustainability, reflecting the value created not only for shareholders but also for customers, markets, and the broader economy.
We closed 2024 with achieving our profitability target and successfully normalized debt to a healthy <2x EBIDTA. Revenue grew 14%, with future sales increasing at an even faster rate. Our customers’ strong endorsement— reflected in an average Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 88%—has been the main driver of this growth and the resulting profitability. We are deeply grateful for this trust, and for the renewed recognition as the World’s Leading Expedition Company, awarded by the World Travel Awards.
In terms of expansion, we operated more small-group Expeditions to Tierra del Fuego following the success of their first year. We recently began sales of new Expeditions to the Sacred Mountains of Peru and to Iceland, marking our expansion into the Northern Hemisphere in 2025. Additionally, we are working towards the announcement of our eighth lodge, set to open in Q4 2026.
In terms of People and Planet, we are celebrating multiple milestones—specifically the creation of a Conservation Action Plan, in partnership with The Nature Conservancy (TNC), for 650,000 hectares within the
UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Torres del Paine.
We launched a participatory process for the Conservation Management Plan of the Puritama Reserve in the Atacama Desert.
During 2024 we began the process of recertification three years after joining the B Corp movement, which we proudly just received, showing significant progress across all measured dimensions—governance, workers, environment, community, and customers. The commitment of Explora’s nearly 800 employees remains strong: to continue delivering the distinctive service that defines us, to expand our network of destinations, and to deepen our positive impact on the extraordinary places we invite you to explore.
We look forward to seeing you soon.

OUR DESTINATIONS
Travesías
Travesía Atacama Uyuni
We welcomed over 1,300 guests from around the world in 2024, nearly triple the number of travelers compared to previous years. This significant growth was largely due to our decision to operate year round, including rainy season, for the first time. By offering alternative routes and vehicles, we provided greater flexibility and more travel options. This allowed us to cater to a broader audience and offer a more tailored and immersive experience. As a result, travelers were able to explore the Uyuni Salt Flat throughout the entire year.

Torres del Paine
We had several significant milestones in 2024 that both strengthened our operation and enhanced the experience for our travelers, partners, and neighbors. We kicked off the year with the filming of a new documentary by Ann Johnson Prum, an award-winning wildlife television producer and cinematographer. This new film will showcase the conservation efforts being made by Explora and other conservation actors. Additionally, we made two key improvements to our experience. The first was the opening of our new Guesthouse to welcome our first partners and those
interested in joining our community. We also launched a weather station, which not only contributes valuable data to science but also serves as an important resource for our neighbors and their winter season planning. Lastly, we closed the year by celebrating the second anniversary of the Reserve, inviting
travelers and the local community to participate in a volunteer program and celebrate the significant conservation milestones achieved during these first two years.

TORRES DEL PAINE
Conservation Plan for 650,000 Hectares
For two years, we have supported the work of The Nature Conservancy Chile in the creation of a Conservation Action Plan for most of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Torres del Paine. The plan was formally launched on December 5th, 2024 with the participation of local and national authorities, the private sector and the community. This high-profile conservation plan is intended to guide public and private efforts towards conservation in this huge, globally treasured landscape.
A Celebration for Nature
During the first week of December, we invited our guests, partners, volunteers and community to celebrate nature with us. The highlight event of the week was the launch of our Conservation Plan for the UNESCO Torres del Paine Biosphere Reserve. Participants had the chance to participate in trail restoration, fence removal for wildlife recovery, attend presentations and enjoy a great lunch at our Torres del Paine reserve.
Caring for Our Exploration Trails
In their free time, our staff are hands-on and often volunteer to help pick up litter that might have gotten into the trails.
In Sacred Valley, staffers collected about 60kgs from August to December from several communities. In Rapa Nui they removed about 250kgs of trash over one year from coastal areas.
Destination Collected Waste
Rapa Nui 250kg
Sacred Valley 100kg

New fund for Latin American nature filmmakers
An unprecedented audiovisual fund is launched for nature filmmakers from Latin America in collaboration with the Festival Internacional de Cine Santiago Wild, Ladera Sur and Fjallraven. The 8 awardees were given the opportunity to create short films depicting the incredible wonders of Nature and culture in each of the Explora destinations.
Films will be exposed in the Santiago Wild festival 2025, the most important of its kind in Latin America. Learn more here.
Explore to Connect, and Connect to Protect
The ability to visit, explore, and learn in natural reserves plays a crucial role in childhood education.
Children benefit greatly by playing and learning in nature, which helps stimulate their brains, bodies, and develop a curiosity about the natural world around us.
Through 2024, we invited children from schools in Atacama and Torres del Paine to visit our reserves to learn about and from nature.
The collaboration with local schools and the Symbiotica team provided a powerful alliance for this goal. Ten students were given the opportunity to learn about hydrology and become water quality monitors in Puritama. Forty-seven students learned about the Andean condor in our Torres del Paine Conservation Reserve.
An additional 150 people and students from local schools and kindergartens had the opportunity to visit Puritama. Learn more here.
SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONS
Environment
Our daily operations at each lodge include monitoring energy and water use, waste creation, and carbon footprint. We have set goals and created action plans to reach those goals and lower our environmental impact.
Water Footprint
Relevant reduction in water comsumption in 2 destinations where wáter is a critical resource: Atacama (8%) and Rapa Nui (60%)
Waste Management

(TCO 2 eq )
After five years monitoring our footprint, we expect 2024 to be the year of our peak emissions. We developed a thorough energy transition plan over the last year, with implementation starting in 2025. This plan will significantly allow us to transition away from fossil fuels, welcoming the energy of the sun and water.
In addition to this transition, we have developed a plan to neutralize our emissions with carbon-capturing nature regeneration projects within our Conservation Reserves (frequently known as “insetting”), which we will deploy in the following years, achieving our goal to make up for all our past and present emissions before 2030.
INTERANNUAL COMPANY EMISSIONS (TCO
2 eq )
Regenerating Ecosystems
Regeneration initiatives which allow us to recapture the carbon we do emit are fundamental to our plan. Capturing around 100,000 tons of CO2eq is a great challenge, but we have the capacity to achieve it. During 2024, we planted over 16,000 lengas (nothofagus pumilio) in the Torres del Paine Conservation Reserve in addition to the 15,000 lengas planted in 2023, with more to come.
We continued our regenerative farming program on 285 hectares within the reserve, which sequesters carbon through rotational grazing.
Education plays a critical role in the long term success of our regenerative efforts, this is why we supported educational visits from local schools, communities and other associations to the Puritama and Torres del Paine conservation reserves. Around 200 people had the change to learn and enjoy the beauty of Nature in these visits.
Fire Brigades
We understand conservation requires an ecosystem-wide approach without regard to the invisible property lines drawn on maps. This is why we have acted to secure funding for the development and implementation of the Conservation Action Plan for the Torres del Paine UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, undertaken by The Nature Conservancy. This funding has been critical to develop the plan as well as engage local stakeholders, both private and public, in the commitment to its success.
In Torres del Paine and El Chaltén, fire prevention also plays a critical role, since fires destroy nature and release carbon into the atmosphere.
We also need our staff trained and prepared to understand, explain and act in alignment with our climate strategy. To achieve this, we created an online course which was completed by almost 70 explorers during 2024.
Reforesting the Andes
As global warming progresses, protection of water is increasingly crucial. Communities in the high Peruvian Andes are playing their part by reforesting areas around local water sources with native queñua trees. Through our partnership with ECOAN, Explora supported the communities of Cuncani and Thastayoc in planting over 3,000 queñuas in critical areas near water springs and glaciers.
Other Initiatives
Collaboration is at the heart of tackling climate change. In each destination we are building alliances to educate and take firm actions towards mitigation and adaptation.
In San Pedro de Atacama, we promoted the organization of the first of a series of workshops reflecting on the impacts of climate change in the area and the role tourism should play in this.

CRECE
Our New online Platform for Capacity Building
During 2024 we launched a new online platform for capacity building, which is a long awaited program to provide our staff with a wide range of courses.
Over 1,500 courses are now available, including onboarding, technical, and professional development. Staff can freely choose from these options to enhance their skills beyond any mandatory training. In 2024, 457 employees completed at least one course, and all team members created accounts.
Explora Instructors
Nobody knows our way of exploring better than our people. That’s why we now invest in advanced training for our best guides, empowering them to lead and shape the instruction of our future guide schools. These lead guides have a deep understanding of our product, service, travelers, and territories. They are well-prepared to take on the mission of training their fellow coworkers and inspire them by role-modeling our unique approach to deep exploration. Our team of 23 instructors is made up of guides and former explorations team members, current exploration managers, and dedicated professionals from our headquarters who stand out in their passion for exploring remote places and sharing our culture at every step.
“My name is Elsa Gudiño, I am from Bolivia. I have been with Explora for two years now, and I have lived in Uyuni for three years with my three children. Before becoming a guide, I often worked as a language teacher. Teaching is a great method to continue learning, and that’s why the idea of being an instructor makes me very happy. I know it’s not a simple job because it requires a lot of responsibility and commitment.
As an Explora guide, I used to be passionate about showcasing the natural and cultural richness of my country, but now I am also interested in preserving what exists in each of the destinations.
As an instructor, I feel the commitment to help others as I would like to be helped, to apply the necessary methods to the fullest to obtain a good response from each of my colleagues.
The instructor training helped me clear up doubts I had about teaching and that not only some methodologies can be adapted, but several of them can be used in a class to reach each of the learners.
This allowed me to understand that each learner has their own learning pace and ways of expressing themselves. The way to highlight the virtues of each one and the way to show their weaknesses.”
NOURISHING PARTNERSHIPS
Building Capacity in Our Supply Chain
Agriculture is at the heart of both local identity and economy of our destinations. However, it can be a difficult business, in particular in our destinations due to extreme weather or scarce market opportunities. This is why we encourage and support capacity building, so local agricultural businesses can thrive while providing our guests with the most authentic and best flavors of the territory they explore.
Since 2021, we have partnered with CORFO, a Chilean government entity that supports business and entrepreneurs, and Aba Consulting to advise local farmers on growing their businesses at our four Chilean destinations.
