Waterfront & General Carrera Lake
The General Carrera Lake is the largest lake in Chile and one of the most beautiful in Patagonia, shared with Argentina (where it is known as Buenos Aires Lake). The waterfront (costanera) area, especially near Puerto Río Tranquilo, offers stunning views of turquoise waters surrounded by mountains and glaciers. It is a key point for relaxation and access to excursions such as the famous Marble Caves.
