Who travels the department of Rocha (Uruguay), surely will be attracted by the presence of elevations that usually exceed two meters. Very visible in flat lands, more than eight hundred small Indian hills are located in the marshes or in places linked with them. Its age reaches up to about three thousand five hundred years. In June and July 1995, a team of archaeologists began the excavations in two Indian hills of the Potrerillo de Santa Teresa Biological Station, a 715-hectare estate owned by the state, managed in a coordinated manner by PROBIDES and the National Environment Directorate. It is part of the Protected Area of the Laguna Negra and is located on the north coast of this one. This video is an exciting walk through the Potrerillo de Santa Teresa and an invitation to walk the same paths and feel complicit in the first men who inhabited these lands.
