Quebrada de los Cuervos

Uruguay's first protected park, with a 100-metre canyon.

In Treinta y Tres, the Yerbal Chico stream carved a canyon in the middle of the grassland. The main circuit drops to the river and comes back along the rim, with lookouts on the way. It is the best day hike in the country.

What you should not miss

  • The full canyon circuit (4 h)
  • North lookout in the late afternoon
  • Camping inside the protected area
  • Wildlife: king vultures, toucans and capybaras
