Puerto Sánchez & Marble Caverns Boat Tour

We'll meet at your chosen time at the pier of Puerto Sánchez. From there, we'll set sail aboard the Starfish V along the western flank of General Carrera Lake, which is under Chilean sovereignty on the western side and Argentinean on the eastern side.

During the voyage, we'll see old boats used in the mining era of Puerto Sánchez. These vessels remain along the coast, preserving much of their hulls and masts.

Next, we'll approach the marble caverns of General Carrera Lake, which extend over a 980-meter ridge. From the boat's deck, you can admire and photograph the unique caves formed by years of erosion.

As we sail, we'll discuss the historical and geological past of the region and attempt to spot various Patagonian birds that inhabit the area, including Andean condors and cormorants, reflecting the area's great biodiversity.

We will conclude this journey of approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes with a return to the departure dock.
