With a grand stage of 400,000 square miles (roughly one and a half times the size of the UK), Patagonia is as expansive as it is impressive. Visitors certainly have to plan their trip accordingly ahead of time in order to make the most of their time in this vibrant land. Many people choose to visit the Patagonia attractions in the northern lakes districts of Argentina and Chile. This is where you’ll find the world famous national parks, Los Glaciares National Park and Torres del Paine National Park. Throughout other areas of the region, a vast, largely untamed wilderness remains. Argentinean Andean-Patagonia Parks house empty spaces and ranching country, while Chilean Patagonia is a collage of islands, inlets, and labyrinthine channels.
Here are the top attractions to see while visiting Patagonia:
Famously known for its huge, hulking Glaciers in the Santa Cruz Province, southwestern Argentina and home to Helsingsfors Lodge!
Founded in 1927 as a frontier town, El Calafate is the base of excursions to Los Glaciares National Park and Helsingfors Lodge!
Thousands of trekkers flock to this mountain village overlooking the stunning northern section of Los Glaciares National Park.
Divided by Chile and Argentina, Tierra del Fuego Province is within a set of islands right at the bottom of South America.
According to National Geographic Magazine, Torres del Paine is the 5th most beautiful placd in the world!
This is a fascinating, beautiful place especially if you like hiking or riding in stunning country for a day or more at a time. Managed by an outstanding young man who knows how to select staff whether gauchos or chefs. Exceptional food in a setting which was the home of successful, well-to-do landowners. Interesting architecture... Read more
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.
