Puerto Sánchez & Marble Caverns
Puerto Sánchez
A small fishing port on the north shore of General Carrera Lake. Nearby islands have marble caves, it is rarely visited, and there is an old mining museum.
Puerto Sánchez was once a lead and zinc mining area, and the village still has mining remains and a small museum. Local boatmen offer trips to marble caves on nearby islands. They are similar to those near Puerto Tranquilo but quieter. From the Carretera Austral, turn off at Bahía Murta onto a side road of about 25 km. The road is gravel, with some steep bends. There are very few places to stay or eat, so arrange everything in advance.
