Fishing near San José de Jáchal, San Juan

San José de Jáchal sits in the northeast of San Juan province at the foot of the Andes, where the Río Jáchal flows through an agricultural valley of olive groves and orchards. The area's marquee fishing destination is Embalse Los Cauquenes, a dam reservoir close to the city where anglers fish from the banks or by boat. The Río Jáchal itself and the more distant Dique Cuesta del Viento round out the local options in this arid Andean landscape.
