The peculiar green waters are the result of minuscule particles of pulverized rock, caused by the glacier grinding against the rocky walls of Cerro Tronador, whose striking white summit stands out over the wooded landscape, a sight only available from a boat.

Q: Will I get seasick on Puerto Blest Cruise & Waterfalls Hike with optional Frias Lake?
