Río Pintos is a mountain stream located in the Sierras de Córdoba, Argentina, flowing through rugged terrain at elevations between approximately 1,000 and 2,000 meters above sea level. Like the other prized trout streams of the Córdoba highlands, it runs clear and cold through mountain slopes before reaching its confluence with Río Quilpo. The river's character — crystalline water, mountain gradient, and natural surroundings — makes it a classic destination for fly fishing in the Argentine interior.

Río Pintos is managed and regulated from its source all the way to its confluence with Río Quilpo. This entire stretch falls within the designated sport fishing zone for the region, meaning anglers can fish the full length of the river from headwaters to mouth. The upper reaches near the source tend to feature the steeper gradients and faster water typical of high-altitude mountain streams, while the lower sections approaching the Río Quilpo confluence generally offer more varied water types as the gradient eases.
