The Reserva Provincial Castillos de Pincheira (Spanish: Pincheira's Castles Provincial Reserve) is a natural area protected in Argentina. It's located about 27 km to the west of the Malargüe city in the southern part of the Mendoza Province.
It is a natural monument sculpted by erosive actions, mainly of glaciers. Its form is very similar to a giant castle, in the front flow the Malargüe River and very near the Pincheira Stream.
