Embalse Paso de las Carretas is one of the most popular and productive fishing reservoirs in the Merlo region of San Luis, Argentina. Situated in a notably remote setting compared to other local fishing destinations, the reservoir is framed by stunning mountain scenery that makes it as much a visual experience as a fishing one. The dam itself is an impressive structure, and the surrounding landscape draws anglers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Its relative remoteness adds to its appeal for those seeking a more secluded fishing experience away from heavily trafficked waters.
