Slithering through Montevideo’s northern reaches, the Arroyo de Mendoza whispers tales of a bygone era. This unassuming stream, a tributary of the larger Arroyo Miguelete, is more than just a waterway. It’s a thread woven into the very fabric of Montevideo’s history. The Arroyo de Mendoza begins its journey west of Villa Crespo and San Andrés, flowing south, hugging the eastern side of Ruta 32. Then, it takes a westward turn, eventually slipping under Ruta 32 before joining the Arroyo Miguelete. The Arroyo de Mendoza may be small, but its impact on the surrounding landscape is undeniable. It has shaped the land, provided sustenance, and witnessed the ebb and flow of life in this vibrant city.
