Puerto Tranquilo Marble Caves Boat Trip

At a time of your choice, we'll set sail from the dock of Puerto Tranquilo to navigate the western part of the General Carrera Lake, one of the most beautiful places in the Chilean region of Aysén.

We'll start this boat trip along the shore of Puerto Tranquilo by the marble caves. From the boat, we'll see the greyish and bluish tones in these lake caves. All are part of a large protected area, declared a National Monument of Chile in 1994 in the category of Nature Sanctuary.

We'll sail along 500 metres (1640 feet) of caves, where we'll take the boat inside to observe the marble ceilings. We'll then continue to the marble tunnel, stopping to appreciate this whitish calcium carbonate cavity.

We'll continue our boat trip on Lake General Carrera towards the islets of the cathedral and the marble chapel of Puerto Tranquilo. These formations are main natural monuments of Aysén, and no photograph can match seeing them up close.

Finally, after an hour and a half sailing, we'll conclude the boat trip at the departure pier.
