Quebrada de los cuervos, Nature reserve in Treinta y Tres, Uruguay.
Quebrada de los Cuervos is a nature reserve in eastern Uruguay with deep ravines, waterfalls, and diverse native plants throughout the landscape. The terrain includes varied geological formations that create different environments to explore.
The protected area was founded in the 1980s and was initially much smaller than it is today. Over the years, its boundaries were expanded to protect more land and more species.
Visitors experience the land in different ways: some walk the trails, others ride horses or watch birds throughout the day. The way people spend time here shows a connection to nature and the quiet rhythm of rural life.
The best way to explore the area is on foot or horseback using the existing trails and paths. Wear sturdy shoes and allow plenty of time, as the trails lead through hilly terrain.
The area is home to an unusually large number of bird species, some of which are rare and difficult to spot. Bird watching draws many visitors, especially during walks through the ravines.
