Treinta y Tres Department

The Department of Treinta y Tres extends across eastern Uruguay, featuring flat terrains and rolling hills known as cuchillas in its western section.

The Department of Treinta y Tres was established in 1884, formed from sections of Cerro Largo and Minas through the implementation of Law 1.754.

The region preserves ancient Indigenous settlements called Cerritos de Indios, which demonstrate the early human presence in this territory.

The department offers public sports facilities, including new synthetic grass fields, tennis courts, and hockey grounds available to local residents.

Quebrada de los Cuervos, located 44 kilometers from the capital, stands as Uruguay's first designated national protected area.
