Bahía Murta
A quiet village on the north shore of General Carrera Lake, where the bay mirrors the mountains. Remains of the old village and a wooden church recall the 1971 Hudson volcanic eruption.
Bahía Murta lies about 25 km north of Puerto Tranquilo. The original village had to be relocated after volcanic ash from the 1971 eruption buried it, and some old houses are still visible at the former site. The bay is calm and good for a walk or sunset photos. The village has a small shop and fuel station, and it is the junction for the road to Puerto Sánchez. It can be reached directly from the Carretera Austral.
