Motorboat excursion to Marble Chapel and General Carrera Lake

Departure from the Lodge towards this Nature Shrine. It will be one hour driving, bordering beautiful places during our route.

These marble formations are in the "Chapel of Marble", surrounded by the waters of General Carrera lake (Chelenko in Tehuelche language). It is the biggest lake in Chile with 978,12 km2 surface, 200 km long, 350m of altitude, and 590m of maximum depth.

As its name declares, its main characteristic are the marble outcrops along a seaside of 300m long. The water of the General Carrera lake has hit the marble, crating cavities and marble caves, which have generated a unit of great beauty. The rock presents different tonalities depending on its impurities content, although the white banks, of great purity, are predominant. It is also possible to find blue and pink marble banks due to the presence of other minerals.

Box-lunch on site or in the picturesque village of Puerto Tranquilo. Return transfer to Green Baker Lodge.
