Ready for the adventure of a lifetime? Kayak through the Catedral de Marmol in Southern Chile to experience a once-in-a-lifetime moment that you'll cherish forever. Over time, the gentle ebb and flow of the waves crashing against the rocks has resulted in erosion, which has created stunning marble caves that appear blue as their surface is reflected off of the aquamarine water. Even though this photo location is quite remote, I promise it's worth the journey!

This image of the kayaker was taken inside the Catedral de Marmol (Marble Caves) in Chile Chico, Aysén. The best way to experience this location is to contact a local tour company and reserve a spot on their tour. Most of the tour companies operate from Puerto Rio Tranquilo (-46.623918, -72.675166), which is a short distance away from the Marble Caves. A few of the most popular tour companies are Tours Catedrales De Marmol, Aoni Expediciones and Capillas de Mármol. Once you're in the kayak, reference the GPS coordinates to see where I was when I snapped this shot.
