About this tour

Early in the morning we will be picked up in a comfortable minibus from the selected hotels, to head towards the border with Chile, just 12 km from Los Antiguos.

We'll travel along an incredible scenic route that stretches along the southern shore of the lake and alongside the Northern Ice Field . This road was created in the 1990s, and previously the only way to reach it was by boat.

We will continue west, where we will begin to see wooded vegetation due to the higher rainfall in this area. This sparsely populated region will be the starting point for our boat trip to the Marble Caves (kayaking is an option, but not included in the itinerary).

Here we will have the opportunity to see something unique in the region : these impressive chapels were eroded and polished by the waters of the lake, which formed caverns of uniquely attractive shapes.

After the boat trip, we will enjoy a delicious lunch at Costa del Lago , and then we will begin our return journey to Los Antiguos, arriving at our selected hotels at approximately 8 PM.

Unglaubliche Marmorkapellen Tour

Wow, das war eine unglaubliche Tour zu den Marmorkapellen! Die Landschaft ist atemberaubend und die Farben des Marmors im Wasser sind einfach magisch. Unser Führer war super kompetent und hat uns die besten Plätze gezeigt. Die Fahrt mit dem Boot war das Highlight und ich habe so viele schöne Fotos gemacht. Sehr empfehlenswert für Natur- und Fotoliebhaber!
