The
Capillas de Mármol are located on South America’s second largest lake, Lago
General Carrera, in Chile’s Aysén Region. This enormous lake is a striking
turquoise color thanks to its runoff water from several nearby glaciers. The
cave formations of the Capillas de Mármol are the result of thousands of years
of erosion. Glacier water has worn down on these large blocks of marble over
time, forming the beautiful curves found in the caves today. Visiting
the caves involves an hour-long boat ride tour that departs from the
small lakefront town of Puerto Río Tranquilo.
