Fishing near San Juan, San Juan

San Juan sits in the arid Cuyo region at the foot of the Andes, where fishing revolves around the reservoirs and rivers fed by Andean snowmelt. The Embalse Dique de Ullum, just 14 km from the city, is the most accessible water, while Dique Punta Negra and the more remote Dique Caracoles draw anglers willing to travel further into the cordillera. Rainbow trout is the principal target across these cold, clear waters.
