Green hills and impenetrable forest dominated by jagged snowy Andean peaks. A large ice field, <strong>el Campo de Hielo<\/strong> <strong>Norte<\/strong>, is the source of the many glaciers, rivers and lakes that this area is rich, including the Lago General Carrera. Due to erosion of water and wind, a unique network of caves was created here in the marble massif adjacent to the lake, the <strong>Capilla de Marmol<\/strong>, the marble caves.<\/div>\n<h4>&#8216;Off the beaten track&#8217;<\/h4>\n<div>A tour by hire car on mainly unpaved roads through this landscape of glaciers, azure lakes and beautiful mountains is a beautiful experience. To the north lies Puyuhaupi and the nearby <strong>Qeuelat National Park<\/strong> known for its subtropical vegetation and hanging glacier. On Lake <strong>General Carrera<\/strong> is Puerto Rio Tranquilo where you can visit the Capilla de Marmol (marble cave in the lake) by boat. Spectacular is also the trek through a paradisiacal valley along a raging river towards Bah\u00eda Exploradores and then to the \u00a0 impressive <strong>San Rafael glacier.<\/strong> Puerto Guadal is then a wonderful place to stay for a few days. You can continue along Lago Buenos Aires towards Argentina or possibly further south to Caleta Tortel in Chile.
