Posta del Chuy, Historic inn and cultural monument in Cerro Largo Department, Uruguay
The stone building stands near a bridge over the Chuy del Tacuarí stream, 12 kilometers from the city of Melo in eastern Uruguay.
Built in 1855 by Basque brothers Etcheverry, the inn served travelers using the diligence service between Melo and Villa Artigas, now known as Río Branco.
The structure represents nineteenth-century rural architecture and transportation networks, earning recognition as a National Heritage site of Uruguay.
Located at coordinates 32°22'48"S and 54°1'38"W, the site remains accessible for visitors interested in exploring Uruguay's historical transportation routes.
The solid stone construction technique employed in this inn distinguishes it from other similar structures built during the same period in South America.
