The Río del Palmar is a significant freshwater fishery located in the province of San Luis, Argentina. It is a freestone river system characterized by varied terrain, from its headwaters in the Sierras de San Luis to its lower reaches. The river is renowned for its healthy populations of both rainbow and brown trout, which thrive in its clear, cold waters. The surrounding landscape features a mix of rocky canyons, forested banks, and open valleys, creating diverse habitats for fish and a scenic backdrop for anglers. The river flows into the Dique Boca del Río, a reservoir that offers additional fishing opportunities.
