Uruguay Quebrada de los Cuervos

The national park takes its name from a colony of ravens that lives here: Ravens' Ravine. It is a huge crevice in the rock. A circular trail about 3 km long leads through jungle over hill and dale. At first, the path goes downhill quite peacefully, then steeply uphill over boulders. Along a ridge, an almost normal path leads, then steeply downhill over rocks. Without short stairs and rope guides, it would hardly be possible to get to the bottom of the gorge here and back up over rocky peaks. The last 500 m are handicapped-accessible, so that you can easily get from the car park to the viewing platform where the sweaty climb ends.
