The Marble Caves of
Patagonia, Chile, are beautiful vibrant blue caverns, partially
submerged in the equally stunning turquoise waters of Carrera Lake. The
lake itself is on the border of Argentina and Chile, with the caves
located on the Chilean side. 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. A
rare and invaluable natural wonder, the existence of these caves is
currently threatened by plans to build five large dams in the area. If
you visit these caves, please treat them with the utmost respect and
care
