Marble Caves Full-Day Tour

This tour ventures deep into Chilean Patagonia to the small town of Puerto Río Tranquilo, which sits on the shores of General Carrera Lake. It's a scenic drive packed with stunning scenery that passes through Cerro Castillo National Park and its thick Nothofagus forest, the turquoise Chiguay Lagoon surrounded with lenga trees, and along the Río Murta, which features basaltic lava flows on its glacial valley floor that date back hundreds of thousands of years. 

Puerto Río Tranquilo serves mostly as a base for boat tours to the Capillas de Mármol, a network of marble pillars near the shores of General Carrera. The sleek lines of the deep white crevices at the base of these giant pillars are the result of thousands of years of erosion. When contrasted with the blue and turquoise waters of the lake, these crevices shine brightly iridescent, lending an otherworldly quality to an already stunning geological formation. Be sure to take plenty of photos when you tour these caves because they're guaranteed to impress.
