Quebrada de los Cuervos, Protected ravine in Treinta y Tres, Uruguay
Steep-sided valley formed by Yerbal Chico stream cutting through Sierra del Yerbal mountains, reaching depths over 100 meters in certain sections.
In 1986, the Quebrada de los Cuervos became Uruguay's first protected natural area through municipal decree, covering an initial area of 365 hectares.
The natural reserve contains numerous family-owned farms dedicated to traditional cattle ranching, which maintains the regional agricultural heritage and practices.
The protected area stands 45 kilometers from Treinta y Tres city, with access through National Route 8 at kilometer 306, following a 24-kilometer western path.
The ravine houses 70 percent of Uruguay's native plant species and serves as habitat for red-headed vultures, which gave the area its name.
