Taking this course, hikers cross the river and after a climb they will enjoy a spectacular view of Lake Viedma. Going through the three gaps you can see the typical vegetation of the steppe and lots of birds of the region such as flamingos, blemishes and geese. After an hour of walking, we will reach the Estancia Los Hermanos, where you can visit the shearing shed, the garden that caters to Helsingfors, and meet a true Patagonian farm in full operation. This is one of the Estancias Argentina is most proud of. Way Brothers sheep, Guanacos, Cows and Horses are spectacular, many of them descendants of the Quarter Horse stallion that is in the room. After the visit, one can stay back to enjoy the wonderful view of Helsingfors Lodge. This is one of the finest Estancias Argentina has to offer, and is true to the historic principals and ethics that make the nation proud.

This is a fascinating, beautiful place especially if you like hiking or riding in stunning country for a day or more at a time.

Everything about my trip to Helsingfors was amazing, from the staff, service, horseback riding, beautiful surroundings, treking, and of course the food. I'm still dreaming about the roasted lamb done over the open fire for the opening lunch. The staff was professional and accommodating and very personable. It is well worth the long trek to get there. It is a trip I will never forget.
