San Roque, Water reservoir near Villa Carlos Paz, Argentina.
The San Roque Reservoir spans 16 square kilometers across the Punilla Valley, reaching a maximum depth of 25 meters at 643 meters elevation.
Engineers constructed the first dam in 1888 to supply water to Cordoba, later replacing it with a larger structure 150 meters away in 1944.
The reservoir serves as a central gathering point for regional festivals and community events, drawing residents from surrounding municipalities throughout the year.
The water body supplies drinking water to Cordoba city while supporting hydroelectric power generation and providing space for water sports activities.
When water levels decrease, visitors can observe the remnants of the original 1888 dam, which proved resistant to demolition attempts with dynamite.
