If you can imagine a soft-serve cone of swirly blueberry ice cream, that’s kind of what Chile’s Marble Caves look like. Putting other caves to shame, this mind-boggling cave system is the result of calcium carbonate formations that are both wacky in shape and downright delightful in color. The cave’s cobalt walls look like a purposefully-designed mural against the waters below, giving it a real whimsical atmosphere. Even though we’d love to take a swim here, the water’s actually pretty freezing, so it’s off limits. You can easily hop on a kayak or boat tour to see all of the glory.

Jump back into high school chemistry class with these sprawling calcium carbonate formations that have resulted in a one-of-a-kind cave system: Marble Caves. Azure rock walls mimic the waters below, resulting in an overall view that is truly out of the ordinary. You can’t swim through ‘em (the water is beyond icy) but you can explore this colorful destination via kayak or a boat tour.
