The 7 tours from Puerto Río Tranquilo: how the 3 Marble Caves trips differ and what each one costs (2026)
Seven departures from the same dock, CLP $15.000–$180.000. Three Marble Caves trips share a name and do not share a boat: $15.000 classic launch, $30.000 with Puerto Sánchez, $50.000 kayak.
Seasonal promotional prices in Chilean pesos: checkout is the source of truth. Everything here comes from each listing.
Seven tours leave Puerto Río Tranquilo, CLP $15.000 to CLP $180.000. Three of them say Marble Caves (Capillas de Mármol) and they are not the same departure: CLP $15.000 the classic launch, CLP $30.000 the longer run that adds Puerto Sánchez, CLP $50.000 the same sanctuary by kayak.
That gap disappears when the three sit in one price list. Here is each listing — what is in, what is out, where it leaves — then the two glaciers, the canyon, and Laguna San Rafael.
Seven departures from the same dock, CLP $15.000 to CLP $180.000. The difference is not the destination — it is what you float in and how far you go.
