WAYAWAY's video: Capillas de M rmol Patagonia s Stunning Marble Caves

The Capillas de Mármol are located on South America’s second largest lake, Lago General Carrera, in Chile’s Aysén Region. This enormous lake is a striking turquoise color thanks to its runoff water from several nearby glaciers. The cave formations of the Capillas de Mármol are the result of thousands of years of erosion. Glacier water has worn down on these large blocks of marble over time, forming the beautiful curves found in the caves today. Visiting the caves involves an hour-long boat ride tour that departs from the small lakefront town of Puerto Río Tranquilo. The route to Puerto Rio Tranquilo from Coyhaique is a sight worth seeing in and of itself on the course of a 3-4 hour drive to the chapels boasting absolutely impressive green grasslands, thick woodlands, the occasional waterfall, snowcapped mountains, and bustling rivers. Despite the cold and unpredictable southern weather, everything is fresh and there is so much of nature to discover. You’ll see: 1. El Cerro Castillo (Castle Hill) 2. The Great Wall of China” – smooth marine and molten rock shaped like a wall formed by glacial erosion. 3. Alero de las Manos Rupestres – 35 meter rocky wall with 6,000 year old paintings made by the Tehuelches aboriginal culture which is open to the public. 4. El Bosque Muerto (Dead Forest) – and tree graveyard, all dead but still standing after the eruption of the Hudson Volcano in 1991. 5. Finally a view of General Carrera Lake, the aboriginal Tehuelche name for the lake was ‘’Chelenko’’ meaning “storm lake” because of its unruliness. + For this Info: https://plus.google.com/105268588753239162075 It consists of islets located a few meters from the shore of the lake, which are named after Marble Cathedral, Marble Chapel and Marble Cave and in 1994 they were named national monument.
