Paddling near Cruz del Eje, Córdoba

Cruz del Eje sits in the arid northwest of Córdoba province, where the sierras give way to the plains and the Río Cruz del Eje feeds the Embalse de Cruz del Eje — the area's centrepiece for flatwater paddling. The reservoir, known locally as the Dique Cruz del Eje "Arturo Illía", draws kayakers and SUP paddlers to its calm surface, while the surrounding rivers offer quieter exploration for those willing to venture further into the sierra landscape.
