Punilla Valley

The Punilla Valley (in Spanish, "Valle de Punilla") is a broad fluvial valley in the province of Córdoba, Argentina. It is located in the center-northwest of the province, bordered by the Sierras Chicas in the east and the Sierras Grandes and the Achala Pampas in the west, oriented from north to south. In the southern part of the valley lies the San Roque Lake, fed mainly by the San Antonio River and the Cosquín River. The most important tourist location in Córdoba, the city of Villa Carlos Paz, is located on the southern shore of the lake.
