Aysén

The lake that carved cathedrals

In the heart of Aysén, over more than 6,000 years Lago General Carrera carved one of the most astonishing formations on the planet: the Capillas de Mármol, a Nature Sanctuary. We sail to them every day from Puerto Río Tranquilo, with departures at different times depending on lake conditions.

Two ways to experience it: the classic route or the complete marble expedition.
