The so called marble cathedral and marble caves was the most memorable area we saw in Chile. We were in Chile the whole 2019 and visited every one of their regions. We went to the Atacama desert and the town of San Pedro de Atacama. We went to the Torres del Paine area. But the General Carrera Lake was the highlight of the year. We went to Puerto Rio Tranquilo and took a "full day" boat ride that took us to the marble cabinets area and then to the marble chapel, marble caves and to the marble cathedral. Here are a few photos.

A wet and fast boat trip to the caves followed by a gentle tour in an out of the caves. A lot of explanation but all in Spanish but the main point is what you see. The longer trip is probably worth the extra cash for a more relaxed time in the caves.

We had one of our favorite tours ever with Ecoturismo la Pancha! It was a bit last minute, but we wanted a kayaking adventure in Patagonia while we were in Puerto Chacabuco and so happy we came across this one! It’s a family owned business that really cares about giving a unique experience. We had two children (ages 4 & 6 years old) and they set us up with double kayaks! The weather was typical Patagonia weather (rainy, sunny, cold, warm!) and the setting was absolutely gorgeous on the lake and river. Half way through, we went to the mangroves in the river to enjoy a snack and matte- what fun!! Then back to the grounds where we were greeted with a warm cozy fire and delicious array of fresh made Chilean snacks and hot chocolate. Even fresh salmon ceviche!! Yum!!! The family is so nice, the setting beautiful and experience is truly one of a kind!! Highly highly recommend!!!

We really enjoyed getting to be this close to a glacier (at 1km away it felt in our face!). The knowledgeable, happy, and friendly guides were great. It was a long van ride from Tranquilo, with nice views along the way but for fog, then we got reshuffled at the pier, then the boatride was not short either but also good views despite fog. No bathroom on boat - use one before getting on and at the park with the short walk near the glacier. They fed us (and I am vegetarian) very well (starting on the boatride) - eating a hot meal while sitting on the top of the boat looking at the glacier calve was incredible. Wear full rain/wind gear and gloves and have a strap on your camera. Wear waterproof walking shoes/boots or take a change of good socks.

The road to into the park is horrible and the park is crowded but the trek up to the glacial viewpoint is magical. Make sure you also do the short side trail along the rushing river to the lake. If you want solitude, there is another viewpoint trail whose trailhead is just before the two upper parking lots. I think the trail is marked as something like Rio Ventisquero. The trail is very steep and muddy, however.

In our 3 weeks hiking around Chilean Patagonia the Los Piedras hike to the top of Cerro Cinchao was our favorite hike. We started at the parking lot for Mirador Laguna Verde (you can drive there--you need to stop and pay admission to the park). From the Laguna Verde parking lot the trail was well marked. Follow the Los Piedras sign when you come to it about half a mile in to the hike. The trail ascends about 2,000 feet. There are several different and interesting forests you pass through on the way up. And there are ocassional views across the valley. But the real payoff comes when you get to the top. The summit is above the treeline, and presents 360 degree views of the surrounding mountains. Spectacular. It took four fit 60 year olds a bit less than 3 hours to get to the top. Much less to get down. And we lingered at the top for most of an hour. We did not do the full loop. We got to the top of the mountain and then descended back the way we came. That looked shorter than completing the loop. And we had already gotten the best views of the trail.
