Río de las Pavas is a mountain stream flowing through the Yungas region of Tucumán Province, Argentina, draining into the broader Medina sub-basin as part of the endorheic Salí-Dulce basin. It is a classic freestone mountain stream characterized by a marked slope, high current velocity, and a coarse substrate typical of Andean foothill waterways. The river runs through lush Yungas cloud forest, offering a scenic and wild setting for anglers willing to explore its reaches. Rainbow trout are present in the system, though at relatively low densities compared to some neighboring streams in the region.

The most productive areas on a steep mountain stream like Río de las Pavas are the deep plunge pools that form at the base of cascades and waterfalls, the slower tailouts of pools, and the pockets of calmer water behind large boulders and bedrock outcroppings. These features concentrate trout in an otherwise fast and energetic stream environment. The coarse substrate throughout the river creates numerous such holding lies.
