Highlights

- Stay on a remote, family-owned estancia
- Visit Los Glacieres National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
- Hike the Mount Fitz Roy Trail
Explore the magnificent, sweeping vistas of Argentinian Patagonia with our Walk in this incredible paradise for hikers. This trip has so many exciting highlights.
We cruise by boat to the foot of the awe-inspiring Perito Moreno Glacier, where chunks of ice regularly "calve" from the main ice sheet and thunder into the water, creating waves that rock the boat. We visit an original pioneer ranch where we see a demonstration of sheep shearing, there is the opportunity to take a horseback ride over the estancia and we see a rich array of wildlife from flamingos to guanacos.
Three nights are spent at a remote but comfortable hotel in the Anita Valley, here we can walk directly from the hotel doors out into the wilderness. Wayfarers who love unspoiled frontiers will exult in the unmatched majesty and silence of the surroundings.

Perfectly positioned at the foot of the Andes Mountains in Los Glaciares National Park, with a panoramic view of the lake and peaks, The Lodge is on an estancia originally settled by a Finnish adventurer who named it after Helsinki. With just nine individually decorated deluxe rooms, it is now an intimate and superbly appointed hotel within a majestic natural landscape. Each heated bedroom has a private bathroom with either a whirlpool bath or hydrotherapy shower, and bathrobes are provided. Renowned for a unique dining experience and its sophisticated gourmet cuisine, Helsingfors offers the best of regional specialties like Patagonian lamb or local trout, accompanied by produce from its own vegetable garden.
