Into the Deep

I saw a photo in a magazine of the Marble Caves in Chile and knew I had to see them for myself. After 36 hours of travel, I landed in an airport in Chile unsure if my guide was going to show up… Fortunately she did. We had a fabulous time traveling on the Carretera Austral; a highway constructed to link small villages in Chile. The caves first appear as a large monolithic structure in the middle of the largest glacial lake in Chile; Lago General Carrera. The famous Patagonia wind produces large waves which have sculpted the caves out of the marble slab of rock and created incredible textures, patterns and labyrinths that are mesmerizing.
