Marble Caves of Patagonia

Happy Friday!

This is Adventure Fix, the #1 magazine for people who believe that life is better lived outside the box.

Today we’re heading to Southern Chile, to explore the Marble Caves of Patagonia.

Marble Caves of Patagonia

Your kayak gently glides into a passageway and moments later you feel like you’ve been transported to another world.

Pure marble columns surround you as your boat drifts through smooth arches that have been carved out over thousands of years.

The water below is a luminescent turquoise. When the sun’s rays hit the water just right, they reflect across the soft pinks, electric blues, and neon greens that run through the undulating marble walls.

The Cuevas de Marmol (Marble Caves) are nature’s 6,000-year-old sculptures formed by the crashing waves of Lake General Carrera in Southern Chile.

What makes this natural wonder even more impressive is its unique ability to transform its appearance throughout the year.

In spring, the turquoise waters create a shimmering effect against the swirling walls.

In summer, the water levels rise and create a deep blue hue with gives the cave a unique unearthly shade of blue.
