The Juramento river, also known as Pasaje (passage) or Salado del Norte (North´s salt), is a long river, more that 1500 km long from its headwaters in the Puna steppes to it’s outlet in the Paraná river. It owes its name to the pledge of allegiance that took place in its shores on February 1813. The river runs through the rainforest and the transition semi arid environments within Salta province. The climate is therefore warm and rainy during the summer, and template the rest of the year.

The dorados that inhabit these clear and impetuous waters are big and combative. The fishing is thrilling and demanding as it requires a high concentration level and serenity when the almost 15 kg monsters bite.

The down section of the El Tunal dam is floated by raft while the upper section, between the Tunal and the Cabra Corral, is waded.
