Our full-day excursion to the fascinating Capillas de Marmol (Marble Chapels) will take you on an epic road trip along the famous "Carretera Austral Sur" that crosses some of the most beautiful landscapes of Chilean Patagonia. Always accompanied by first level guides who will inform us about everything we see on the way.

The most interesting point of the tour is probably the boat ride in the General Carrera Lake, which will allow us to approach the Marble Chapels and see them from a unique perspective.

What to expect

We will leave from your hotel in Coyhaique to begin our trip along the Southern Austral Road, towards Puerto Tranquilo.

In our route of approximately 223 km, we will contemplate beautiful forests of lenga, plum or notro, coigüe and ñire. We will also go through important milestones along the way, such as Laguna Chiguay and Portezuelo Ibáñez, which has the highest height of the entire Austral Highway. We will be able to appreciate Cerro Castillo as we approach the Ibañez River valley, crossing the new Cerro Castillo National Park.

We will have several photographic stops along our path, where we will pass through the Dead Forest, the witness of the eruption of the Hudson Volcano that took place in 1991, and we will descend through the Murta River Valley until we find ourselves facing the immensity of the General Carrera Lake.

We will arrive in Puerto Tranquilo in time for lunch at a local restaurant. In the afternoon we will make a brief transfer to General Carrera Lake to make the expected navigation to Marble Chapels. After obtaining impressive views of Marble Chapels, we will return to the city of Coyhaique, where we will make a previous stop at the Villa del Cerro Castillo.
