Excursions

Included Excursions

Marble Cathedral
The "Marmol" or Marble Cathedral is an extraordinary rock formation with a fantastic labyrinth of caves carved naturally by thousands of years of wave erosion from General Carrera Lake.

General Carrera Lake

Terra Luna Lodge
During the free days, Terra Luna offers various activities and excursions. Among them, are numerous excursions (Baker River, Lakes, fossils, glaciers, etc) and diverse activities to choose from like mountain biking, horseback riding, and fishing to name a few. For those who wish to enjoy a unique experience, we especially recommend flying over the northern ice country and Mount San Valentin (4057 meters or13,306 ft) to San Rafael Lagoon (optional – Not included in the value). This option is currently the most economic way to visit this National Park. This light aircraft can come to get you in the proximities of Terra Luna.

Transfer to Chile Chico
We get to Chile Chico by following an extraordinary route that practically hangs from the mountainside and descends onto the southern bank of the Lake.

General Carrera Lake
The lake is one of most touristy and beautiful areas. It is the second largest lake in South America and is shared with Argentina (where it is known as "Buenos Aires"). Thanks to the presence of the Campo de Hielo Norte (Northern Ice Country), this region enjoys a surprisingly warm and sunny microclimate.
