Cabra Corral Reservoir, Large reservoir in Salta Province, Argentina.

Cabra Corral Reservoir is a large water body in northwestern Argentina collecting flow from several rivers in Salta Province. The surface covers around 115 square kilometers (44 square miles) and sits at roughly 1037 meters (3400 feet) elevation in a hilly landscape with gentle shores and distant mountains.

The dam was built between 1966 and 1972 through a joint project of Italian and Argentinian firms to generate hydropower and secure irrigation. This created the country's second-largest dam structure and fundamentally changed water supply in the northern region.

The name Cabra Corral comes from Quechua, meaning "corral of goats", according to Carlos Diez San Millán's 2013 work on Quechua toponymy in Salta. Today the reservoir is a base for sport fishing: pejerrey is the most prized catch, alongside tararira, sábalo and bagres. Coronel Moldes, 62 km from Salta city, is the usual starting point for the dam.

You reach the water via National Route 68, about 75 kilometers (47 miles) south of Salta city, with several access points along the shore. At the Fisherman's Club you can rent boats and borrow fishing gear, and there are areas for picnicking and parking near the water.

At the dam you can jump bungee from the 93-meter (305-foot) pillars, and the neighboring Juramento River offers stretches for whitewater rafting. These activities use the height of the dam wall and the natural river course below the drop.
