Rincon de tres cerros, Natural area with three hills in Rivera Department, Uruguay.
Three mesa-shaped hills rise progressively from north to south, forming a distinct geological formation in the Uruguayan landscape near Tacuarembó River.
The region experienced population decline during the 1980s and 1990s, leading to the closure of two out of three rural schools that served local communities.
Local communities maintain oral traditions and stories about the three hills, named Cerro Zapato, Cerro del Medio, and Cerro Chapeu respectively.
Access to the area requires consideration of potential flooding issues affecting main bridges at Paso Rogelio, Paso Cunha, and El Sauce.
The northern hill features a functioning rural public school, number 87, situated on the slopes of Cerro Zapato.
