What is carrera lake?

Carrera Lake, also known as Lake General Carrera, is a large freshwater lake located in Patagonia, on the border between Chile and Argentina. The lake is approximately 200 km long and has a surface area of about 1,850 km², making it one of the largest lakes in South America.

The lake is fed by several rivers, including the Baker River, and is known for its crystal clear waters that range in color from turquoise to deep blue. The lake is surrounded by snow-capped mountains and glaciers, including the Northern Patagonian Ice Field.

The lake is a popular tourist destination for its natural beauty and outdoor recreational activities, such as fishing, boating, kayaking, trekking, and camping. The area is also home to several indigenous communities, including the Tehuelche people.

Carrera Lake is also known for its unique marble formations, located along the western shore of the lake. The Marble Caves, also known as Capillas de Mármol, are a series of natural marble pillars and tunnels that have been sculpted by the water over thousands of years. The Marble Caves are one of the main attractions of the lake and are accessible by boat.
