Quebrada de los Cuervos, which means Crows’ Ravine in Spanish, is an important natural area in Treinta y Tres Department, Uruguay. The Yerbal Chico creek runs through it, and the site is protected. It is an Important Bird Area because it is home to several endangered birds, including Agelaius flavus, Heteroxolmis dominicana, Limnoctites rectirostris, Sporophila cinnamomea, and Sporophila ruficollis.
