Those who like to rest on fresh air will appreciate the Lago Potrero de Los Funes lake. It is not so hard to get here. This magnificent reservoir is located near the Argentine city of San Luis, less than 20 kilometers away. 

Lago Potrero de Los Fune Lake is located in Sierra de San Luis Valley. The valley is surrounded by mountain ranges. It has gorges, waterfalls, and streams. Everything is equipped for a good rest not only for the weekend but also for a longer period. There is an opportunity to relax and improve your health. Travelers and those who want to stay here longer can book hotels and resorts or visit entertainment venues, restaurants, and cafes.

The mild climate of this place makes it very attractive. You can come here all year round. But summer is the most favorite season for both locals and visitors of the province of San Luis.

Lago Potrero de Los Funes is one of South America's oldest artificial reservoirs. For the first time, people built a dam on the Potrero River in 1860, but it was soon destroyed by the bad weather. The dam was restored in 1876 and reconstructed in 1927. Thus, the reservoir of Potrero de Los Funes appeared. 

Here, you can go canoeing, ride horses along streams and gorges, go on camping with family members to enjoy nature, or have a barbecue. You can also go fishing - the lake is inhabited by several fish species.

There are some natural sights around the lake. For example, Salta de la Moneda is a beautiful waterfall lost in the forests. There, you can see a large number of huge ferns.
