After Villa Cerro Castillo, we hitched a ride to Puerto Rio Tranquilo. Puerto Rio Tranquilo is located on Lago General Carrera, Chile's largest lake. The lake itself crosses the international border between Argentina and Chile. The Argentine side is referred to as Lago Buenos Aires.

Puerto Rio Tranquilo is a tiny town. It is now booming as tourists come from all over the world for a chance to see the Capillas de Mármol (Marble Chapels). Along with the Catedral de Mármol (Marble Cathedral) there are marble caves carved out by ancient glaciers. You can only access the caves by boat or kayak. If you go by kayak it is possible to pass through the caves and see the beautiful texture of the years of ice and water have carved out on the walls.
