Arroyo de las Tortugas is a distinctive stream flowing through the border region between the provinces of Córdoba and Santa Fe in Argentina, serving as a natural geographic boundary between the two provinces. The waterway originates in the lagoon of Estancia La Perla in Córdoba and near San Vicente, Córdoba, where it begins its journey collecting drainage and flows southward. In its upper reaches, the stream is known as Canal San Antonio, passing through the town of Bouquet before taking on the name Arroyo de las Tortugas. It ultimately empties into the Río Carcarañá, which forms near Cruz Alta from the confluence of the Río Tercero and the Saladillo. The stream carries slightly brackish water and offers a productive fishing environment within a rich riparian corridor teeming with wildlife.

The most productive areas along Arroyo de las Tortugas tend to be the deeper pools and bends where current slows and fish congregate, particularly during and after high-water events. The lower reaches of the stream, closer to its confluence with the Río Carcarañá near Cruz Alta, offer the best opportunity to intercept migratory dorado and sábalo pushing upstream. The vegetated margins and undercut banks throughout the stream hold resident bagres and mojarras, while open stretches with moderate current are productive for palometas and orilleros.
