Bringing news of Chilean lodging company explora to Toronto last week were (l-r) Alberto Arellano, Jane Lloyd-Jones and Jesus Parilla. The company has upscale lodges in Chilean Patagonia, Easter Island and northern Chile’s Atacama Desert, which the Guinness Book of World Records says is the driest place in the world. Explora guests can see “the great contrasts that Chile has to offer,” Parilla says. (http://www.explora.com)
