In southern Patagonia a fantastic set of mineral formations emerge from the waters by a karstic phenomenon originated during the Paleozoic era. Called "Capillas de Mármol", they are one of the most remote natural treasures in the world.
When this deposit crossed our path, we never imagined having such a natural treasure in our hands. Suppose you were placed in your hands a place carefully reserved by nature for thousands of years and which protects one of the largest freshwater reserves in the world; what would you do with it? Would you accept the responsibility of taking care of it?
"Beyond its immensity, the earth's resources are not infinite, and it is clear that we have exceeded those limits." Yvon Chouinard, Founder of Patagonia Inc.

The creation of nature presents us with different colors and designs that result from the incessant erosion against the rocks of the largest lake in Chile, General Carrera, achieving formations that include figures, caverns and islets that guard the natural force transmitted by the water. A work of art made by the great artist and sculptor Pachamama.
