The Marble Caves

The Marble Caves are located on Lake Carrera on Chile side or Buenos Aires on Argentina side since this lake separates these two countries.

Marble Cave is unique due to its ability to constantly change its appearance. In early spring, the shallow waters are turquoise and create a crystalline shimmer against the caves’ swirling walls.

In summer, the water levels increase and create a deep blue hue which gives the cave a unique unearthly shade.

The water levels are significantly affected by the freezing and melting of the surrounding glaciers. It’s also from these glaciers where the lake takes the fine silt sediments that rest on the lake bed.
