  We present new and accurate Near-Infrared J and Ks-band data of the Large
Magellanic Cloud cluster Reticulum. Data were collected with SOFI available at
NTT and covering an area of approximately (5 x 5) arcmin^2 around the center of
the cluster. Current data allowed us to derive accurate mean K-band magnitudes
for 21 fundamental and 9 first overtone RR Lyrae stars. On the basis of the
semi-empirical K-band Period-Luminosity-Metallicity relation we have recently
derived, we find that the absolute distance to this cluster is 18.52 +- 0.005
(random) +- 0.117 (systematic). Note that the current error budget is dominated
by systematic uncertainty affecting the absolute zero-point calibration and the
metallicity scale.
