El clima en la Patagonia Argentina

Best Time to Visit Patagonia at Hosteria Helsingfors

In timing with the best months to see Patagonia, the Helsingfors Lodge is open between October and April. Regardless of which month you choose to come, the lodge is both quaint and remote, offering a true escape into nature from the busy and hectic city life. Here is a quick rundown of what Helsingfors has to offer for travellers during each month during the season:

* October – Helsingfors Lodge prepares to open in the middle of springtime as the snow melts and the temperatures rise. While the temperatures are cooler than in the summer, this can actually be an incredible time to visit Patagonia. You’ll be one of the very first visitors for the season and the hiking trails will be nearly empty. This also increases the chances of seeing endemic wildlife that make this area home in Los Glaciares National Park.
* November – The final spring month of the year, this is a great time for an early holiday trip, especially during the Thanksgiving week. The area is still quiet and the temperatures become very comfortable in this period.
* December – Summer season officially begins and provides extended days of outdoor activities to celebrate the holidays, such as Christmas or New Years. You’ll be able to begin the new year with a fresh perspective after this exhilarating trip.
* January, February – This is the peak Patagonia season and is the most favorable time to see all the surrounding attractions. Temperatures become very comfortable and trails are open all over the area. While this does draw the most visitors to the area, it’s important to note that with Patagonia being such a remote area in the world (and with the Helsingfors being so secluded) you’ll be certain to find peace and tranquility regardless.
* March – The temperatures begin to cool into the fall months, but there are still lots of things to do. With diminished crowds, the local animals become more confident and are more visible. Additionally, the changing foliage during the fall presents incredible, breathtaking views as the red and yellow leaves contrast with the clear blue lagoons and white colors of the surrounding mountains. This is a great time for photography.
* April – As weather continues to cool towards the winter months, the Helsingfors Lodge eventually shuts its doors until the Spring season. However, this is still an excellent time to visit with so few people around. It can be a true period of adventure into nature and a time to clear your head.

Argentine Estancia (Ranch) Experience at its Best

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

Simply the BEST!

Helsingfors is a small Estancia bordered by Lake Viedma and associated fjords and beautiful mountains and small glaciers behind. The activities especially the horseback and trek to the Blue Lagoon was the best activity we had during our 5 week trip to Patagonia and South America. On a good weather day the view across the lake and Fitz Roy is none better. There are only 9 rooms which makes for a very cozy environment with a fireplace and relaxing area in the main lodge...

“Trip of a life 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.

“Hiking, Horses, Happiness”

My wife and I visited during a recent trip and have never enjoyed a destination more. Everything was to our liking. Isolated, scenic, active, and informative, Helsingfors provided daily hiking, wonderful trail riding, (we are horse people), and delightful company, both in staff and fellow guests. We loved it. Not "fancy" in a elegant sense, but delightful in being genuine and embracing, Helsingfors is a "must return someday" kind of experience.
