Steinschlagschutz - El Yeso dam 2022

The Yeso Reservoir is a tourist attraction at all times of the year, it contains 253 million cubic meters of water, an altitude of 3000 meters, its turquoise waters are accessed by the banks of the Yeso River. In this sector there is only one very narrow road with little vehicular traffic, there is no adequate signage so it must be handled with care.
