Puerto Río Tranquilo

Puerto Río Tranquilo sits at 214 meters elevation along Lake General Carrera, surrounded by the mountains of Northern Patagonia in Chile.

The settlement developed as a crucial fishing community and travel hub during the exploration of Chilean Patagonia in the early 20th century.

Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices and share their knowledge of lake navigation through guided tours and community gatherings.

Visitors can reach the village via the Carretera Austral highway, with basic accommodations and supplies available in the central area.

The village provides direct access to the Marble Caves, natural formations carved into the lakeside cliffs by water over thousands of years.
