Award-Winning Agency Tapped to Lead Communications for Family-Owned Certified B Corp Devoted to Deep, Sustainable Exploration Across South America’s Most Remote Landscapes
LOS ANGELES, CA (March 5, 2026) – On the heels of its recognition on The PR Net’s Next Gen Awards 2026, P-22 Agency is proud to announce its appointment as public relations Agency of Record for Explora.
Explora Torres del Paine, Patagonia, Chile
Named the World’s Leading Expedition Company for six consecutive years by the World Travel Awards, Explora is a family-owned, certified B Corporation offering immersive journeys across seven luxury lodges in Chile, Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina—including award-winning properties in Torres del Paine, El Chaltén, and Patagonia National Park. Founded in 1993, the family-owned company is dedicated to purposeful exploration in South America’s most remote landscapes, advancing conservation, and fostering a deeper understanding of the fragile ecosystems it calls home. Explora Expeditions further expand the brand’s spirit of discovery through immersive small-group journeys deep into the world’s most untouched environments, including Tierra del Fuego and—new in 2025—Iceland and Peru.
Led by an unrivaled team of experts, these nomadic, point-to-point expeditions traverse rarely traveled routes, venture into jaw-dropping landscapes, and connect travelers with inspiring local communities, all while incorporating stays in distinctive accommodations. Offered on select departure dates, these transformative journeys deliver authentic exploration and life-affirming connection—the kind found only far off the grid.
Helmed by Founder and CEO Ty Bentsen, P-22 Agency will lead strategic communications and media relations across the US, UK, and Australia for Explora, strengthening its position as a global leader in exploration throughout South America. The agency will also drive brand visibility ahead of two highly anticipated lodge openings—Explora El Calafate in Argentina and Explora Torres del Paine Conservation Reserve in Chile—both set to debut in December 2026. Together, these destinations offer privileged access to some of the continent’s most extraordinary landscapes, enabling seamless cross-border journeys that redefine luxury exploration at the edge of the world.
“In an increasingly digital, accelerated, and always-on world, there is a growing desire to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with what feels real—experiences that are immersive, intentional, and singular by design,” says Ty Bentsen, P-22 Agency Founder and CEO. “We couldn’t be more proud to partner with Explora at this pivotal moment and usher in the brand’s next great chapter as a strategic, results-driven partner.”
Anchored by Explora’s commitment to environmental protection, climate action, and care for the people and communities across the territories it operates, the company invites travelers to go deeper—into remote landscapes, into nature, and into themselves—offering a seamless, all-inclusive journey unlike any other with stunning lodges and conservation reserves; off-the-beaten-path, small-group expeditions; world-class dining; and more.
