Fishing near Termas de Río Hondo, Santiago del Estero

Termas de Río Hondo sits in Santiago del Estero Province on the banks of the Río Dulce, and the Embalse Río Hondo — built to capture waters from rivers and streams of the Argentine northwest — has made this city one of the country's premier dorado fishing destinations. Dorados descending from the Río Salí and its tributaries stack up against the dam wall, and fish exceeding 15 kilograms are a regular part of the catch.
