智利小镇宁静港（Puerto Rio Tranquilo）坐落于横跨智利和阿根廷领土的卡雷拉将军湖畔，离它不远的湖边有个独特的地质奇观，被当地人称为“大理石教堂” （Capilla de Marmol），与有神秘传奇的复活岛和风景壮丽的百内国家公园并列为智利的七大奇迹。

“大理石教堂”实际上是有着雕塑般的柱子和独特纹理的一系列大理石洞穴。这些大理石原本属于地壳的一部分，随着时间的流逝，大理石从湖底被挤压出湖面，在千万年的湖水的不断冲刷下形成一个个石洞，正所谓水滴石穿。这些石洞宛如一座座宏伟瑰丽的“殿堂”，因此当地虔诚的教徒把这里称作是大理石教堂。它堪称是大自然的鬼斧神工，同时也是世界上最美丽的洞穴之一，BBC也称它为令人惊叹的奇观。

大理石教堂坐落于湖边的悬崖陡坡之下，大约有几十个大小不等的洞穴，只有坐小船或皮划艇才能参观，还可以进入比较大的洞穴，近距离欣赏岩石表面纵横交错的纹理。

洞穴的底部在湖水千万年的侵蚀下只剩下细柱，而石洞的形状千变万化，从不同角度看构图各有千秋。大理石中的矿物质和杂质令石壁呈现黄、绿、灰、白等各种颜色，没有一处石壁花纹和图案是相同的。大理石教堂所在的卡雷拉将军湖是南美最大的冰川湖，冰川融化的湖水在阳光的折射下呈现出绿松石色，再反射到大理石上，呈现出如梦如画的蓝绿色。湖水清澈，水底下的砥柱清晰可见，石纹在水底跳跃着有着曼妙的光影，让人沉醉。
