Puclaro Reservoir, Water reservoir in Coquimbo Region, Chile.
The Puclaro Reservoir extends across 760 hectares with a maximum length of 7 kilometers, reaching depths of 83 meters in the Elqui Valley.
Construction of the Puclaro Reservoir began in August 1996 and completed in 1999, submerging the former villages of La Polvada, Punta Azul, and Gualliguaica.
The reservoir supplies water for the cultivation of grapes used in pisco production, table grapes for export, and wine making in the Elqui Valley.
The reservoir serves multiple functions, providing irrigation for 21,000 hectares of farmland and maintaining a water storage capacity of 200 cubic hectometers.
Strong winds at the reservoir create conditions for kitesurfing and windsurfing, with several water sports schools operating in the surrounding area.
