The Marble Caves of Puerto Rio Tranquilo are some of the most remarkable
attractions of Patagonia. This magnificent nature place is located in
the Region of Aisen in Chile. Las Cavernas de Marmol, as the Spanish
call them were created by the clear waters of Rio Tranquilo that dug
into a giant limestone peninsula, creating an impressive labyrinth of
caves. The peninsula is known as the Marble Cathedral and can be reached
by boat, during a guided tour. In describing the beauty of the place,
while texts always do injustice, photos are worth a thousand words. Hope
you enjoy the beauty that God created.
