Embalse Casa de Piedra is a large reservoir located in the southwestern corner of La Pampa province, Argentina, formed by the damming of the Río Colorado — the natural boundary between La Pampa and Río Negro province to the south. Construction of the dam began in 1989, and the reservoir was inaugurated in 1996 with the primary purposes of flood control, agricultural irrigation, and hydroelectric power generation. Spanning approximately 360 km², it is a significant body of water and serves as the gateway to Argentine Patagonia along Ruta Nacional 152. The small tourist village of Casa de Piedra, officially founded in 2007, sits on the reservoir's shores and provides the primary base for visitors. Satellite imagery reveals that the reservoir's water varies in color from blue to green depending on suspended sediment levels, reflecting the sediment-laden character of the Río Colorado that feeds it.
