Marble Caves Chile Chico (or «Las Cavernas DE Marmol»), which located in Patagonia, Chile on the second largest freshwater lake in South America, General Carrera is one of the most beautiful places of our planet.

The Marble Caves of Patagonia, Chile, are beautiful vibrant blue caverns, partially submerged in the equally stunning turquoise waters of Carrera Lake. This is an unusual place and is one of the most visited in Patagonia. Labyrinth of caves are located in the beautiful mountain lake on the peninsula of limestone. Incredible streaks of blue make it look as though a master artist in a land of giants has made his mark on these special caves.
The caves are comprised of three main caverns: the Chapel (La Capilla), the Cathedral (El Catedral), and the Cave (La Cueva). Visitors to the caves can explore them in a small boat or kayak, but only when Carrera Lake’s waters are calm and gentle. Tourists are attracted not only by the beauty of this paradise. Fishing enthusiasts can have a great time for his hobby, as the lake abounds with salmon and trout.
The Marble Caves Chile Chico – is the largest deposit of marble on the earth. Its reserves are estimated at 5,000 million tons. The lake itself GEN-Carrera is one of ten deepest lakes in the world – it reaches a depth of 590 meters and an area of approximately 1,850 square kilometers. These exquisite caverns may not be well-known but they are as beautiful as some of the world's top geographical wonders and should be included in any such list. Hopefully the lake will not be badly affected by the dams, and these caverns will still be accessible to people who can continue to marvel at them.
The remoteness of this place make it very difficult to visit. One way to reach it is by flying from the capital of Chile, Santiago, 800 miles to the next nearest large city, Coyhaique, and then drive on challenging dirt roads (with high clearance vehicle) 200 miles south to the lake. Ferries departing from the small town of Chile Chico will take you to through the caves and tunnels. If you visit the area, it may be a good idea to set apart some time to enjoy more of the Patagonian landscapes.
