Day 1: Balmaceda - Lago General Carrera
After arrival at the airport of Balmaceda we will start to drive south on the Carretera Austral, the unpaved extension of the Panamerican Highway. We will cross rivers, lakes, and valleys and will be surrounded by mountains and virgin forests. Our destination is General Carrera Lake, one of the world's greatest reserves of clean fresh water. When we arrive to Puerto Tranquilo we board a motor boat to get to the nearby "Catedrales de Mármol", a peninsula of marble caves of impressive shapes due to the constant erosion from water and wind over thousands of years. We will be able to enter the caves by boat to witness the spectacular combination of the colors of the water and the whiteness of the rocks. From here we will turn back to the mainland and continue our drive to finally arrive at the cabins of Mallín Colorado where we will be awaited by a delicious dinner and stay overnight. (B, L, D)
