Treinta Y Tres at the Confluence

In addition to the city, the travel area also includes scenic and recreational destinations with their own place references. First decide whether your stay is focused on the city itself or on a named regional location; this will help you set the right geographic level for your search.

The City at the Confluence

Treinta Y Tres lies on the left bank of the Río Olimar, at its confluence with the Arroyo Yerbal Grande. This is the specific geographic reference for a stay in the city. If your hotel stay is focused on the city itself, start with Treinta Y Tres as your destination; for a regional excursion, keep the relevant place name in mind as a separate reference point. This lets you distinguish the city from other travel destinations when planning, without treating them as the same place to stay.

Festival del Olimar in the City

For a trip centered on an event, the Festival del Olimar is a reference point in the city. A 2025 report describes the festival as an annual event and names Parque del Río Olimar in the city of Treinta Y Tres as the venue. If you are traveling for a future edition, check the specific dates before deciding on your accommodation.

Scenery and Recreation in the Treinta Y Tres Travel Area

The Paisaje Protegido Quebrada de los Cuervos y Sierras del Yerbal is located in the Departamento de Treinta y Tres. The Quebrada, which gives the area its name, is a very narrow passage where the Arroyo Yerbal Chico cuts through the Sierra del Yerbal, forming a deep gorge that is more than 100 meters deep in some places. In this description, the stream, mountain range and gorge are connected: the Yerbal Chico crosses the range through a narrow passage, and the gorge reaches a depth of more than 100 meters only in some places. As a scenic destination, the protected area is distinct from the city, whose location is defined by the confluence of the Río Olimar and Arroyo Yerbal Grande.

In the Treinta Y Tres travel area, you can reserve camping pitches at the campground in Parque Municipal Quebrada de los Cuervos. The park is part of the Paisaje Protegido Quebrada de los Cuervos y Sierras del Yerbal in the Departamento de Treinta y Tres. The official reservation information was last updated in 2023. Check current availability and conditions before your trip. If you are specifically looking for a hotel, treat camping as a separate option.

Playa Accesible del Río Olimar was officially opened in 2024 as the country’s first accessible river beach. If you are planning a visit, check the current conditions beforehand. The opening year gives you a time reference for this place; for your travel plans, the conditions that apply at the time of your planned visit also matter.

Parque del Salto de Agua is located in Cerro Chato, in the Treinta Y Tres travel area. It includes two natural pools formed by a stream waterfall. This scenic feature differs from the narrow gorge of the Quebrada: in Cerro Chato, the focus is on the two pools and how they were formed by a waterfall, while the Quebrada is described in terms of the Yerbal Chico stream, the Sierra del Yerbal and its great depth in some places. This lets you consider two different natural features of the travel area without treating them as the same destination.
