Yacegua

Yaceguá is associated with the hill of Aceguá in the uplands of eastern Uruguay. A map from the eighteenth century records burial places of the Guenoa people on the hill. The country lies near the headwaters of the Río Negro, among rolling heights that divide the waters flowing towards the Uruguay River from those of the eastern lagoons. Grassland and streams surround this significant Indigenous landmark.

The later city of Melo lies here.
