Embalse Cabra Corral is the largest man-made lake in northwestern Argentina and stands as the most significant recreational fishery in Salta Province, historically concentrating approximately 86% of the province's fishing activity. Formed by a dam on the Juramento River, the reservoir sits at roughly 1,100 meters above sea level, approximately 80 kilometers south of the city of Salta via Ruta Nacional 68. Covering a surface area of 11,360 hectares (about 115 square kilometers), this impressive body of water is set against a dramatic backdrop of subtropical mountain terrain, with a climate characterized as subtropical mountain weather with a distinct dry season. The surrounding landscape offers not only world-class fishing but also opportunities for trekking, mountaineering, horseback riding, and birdwatching, making it a well-rounded destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
