Carrera Lake Santa Cruz, Argentina



Argentina the deepest lake in South America is famous for its trout and salmon fishing. The waters of General Carrera Lakes has beauty of nature, a glittering combination of  turquoise, emerald, aquamarine and azure. The sky may be blue but the waters seem bluer still. 
As well as being the deepest lake in South America, General Carrera Lake is the biggest lake in Chile with a extent of virtually one thousand sq. kilometres.  It is 200 km long, at an altitude of 350 meters and has a most depth of 590 meters. It is remarked as Lake capital of Argentina by the Argentinians.
However on its banks, down the Andes, sheer marble cliffs are present themselves to a lot of amaze the person.  Over the millennia they have been weathered and rolled to make a stunning cathedral of marble.
From a distance the lake looks splendid, although once you meet up with its dazzling beauty becomes ever lots of apparent. The passageways and caverns formed over massive stretches of time ar typically large enough for tiny boats to glide through. Albeit precariously.  It does not take long to become fascinated by Las Cavernas American state Marmol as this exquisite labyrinth is known regionally. Perhaps even the foremost misanthropic jaw 
Strictly speaking, although the Marble Cathedral is spoken of as one formation, in truth it's three. The largest is El Catedral – the Cathedral. There ar 2 smaller formations that square measure illustrious as La Capilla – the Chapel that rise from the lake, and La Cueva - the Cave.
It has been estimated that these massive sections of marble weigh 5000 million tonnes and contains ninety four carbonate. The area is not among the one among the foremost hospitable areas of the world but it's lucky.  Although the region is cold and wet the lake enjoys a sunny micro climate. So, although you may be feeling cold getting there, once every one be there they wanted to get warm!


The marble stretch along a all the beach side and are around 300 meters long. The waters of the lake have slowly damaged upon the marble and, in their patience, almost unclear beauty, like caverns of marble medallions and gigantic walls. The rock manifests many tones that are dependent upon the natural impurities among the marble. white banks, of immense purity are predominant blue and pink marble banks can in addition be seen owing to the presence of various minerals among the rock.
