Depart from Coyhaique and travel along the Southern Carretera Austral to Lake General Carrera, specifically the town of Puerto Tranquilo. Admire a landscape dominated by lenga, coigüe, and ñire forests, covering the entrance to Cerro Castillo National Reserve, featuring forests, mountains, and the valley of the Ibáñez River. Further on, observe the emerald-green Laguna Verde, surrounded by jungle. Cross El Manso Bridge and see the flooded valley with tall grass and dead trees from the 1991 eruption of Hudson Volcano. Pass through Portezuelo del Río Cajón (altitude 600m), descending to Murta, on a branch of Lake General Carrera. Continue along the lake's blue waters to Puerto Río Tranquilo. Here, navigate to the stunning Marble Caves Natural Sanctuary, where the lake's constant waves have eroded and polished limestone, creating beautiful caverns of whimsical shapes.
