Área protegida Montes del Queguay, Protected natural area in Paysandú Department, Uruguay.
Montes del Queguay encompasses 20,000 hectares of wetlands, lagoons, riverside forests, and highlands at the confluence of Queguay Grande and Queguay Chico rivers.
Local residents from Guichón initiated protection efforts in 1949, leading to its official designation as a protected area within Uruguay's National System in 2014.
The forests of Paysandú hold archaeological significance as the last settlement of Charrúa indigenous people, with numerous artifacts discovered throughout the region.
The protected area features marked trails for visitors to explore diverse ecosystems while observing native birds, mammals, and typical flora of forest environments.
This region contains one of Uruguay's largest natural riverside forest masses, combining grasslands, wetlands, and basaltic hills in a single protected space.
