Potrero de los Funes

Potrero de los Funes is a quiet valley town built around a large, scenic reservoir of the same name. Its most unique defining feature is the fully paved semi-permanent international motor racing circuit that perfectly encircles the water's edge, creating a rare juxtaposition of a peaceful natural environment and high-speed motorsport infrastructure. The lake is the central hub of activity, offering excellent conditions for kayaking, windsurfing, and recreational fishing during the warm summer months. The surrounding hills provide numerous accessible hiking trails, with the most popular path leading to the Salto de la Moneda, a pretty hidden waterfall with a natural swimming pool. The town functions primarily as a relaxing weekend retreat and summer resort for residents of central Argentina. Accommodation options range from high-end hotels on the lakefront to rustic cabins in the hillsides. It is located just 20 kilometers from the city of San Luis, making it highly accessible via a modern highway.
