Capillas de Mármol – Patagonia's Stunning Marble Caves

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.
