Chuy - Border town with Brazil

Chuy is a unique border town between Uruguay and Brazil in the far northeast of the country. The town is located in the Departamento Rocha and is known for its special geographical location directly on the Brazilian border.

                Highlights:

                Frontera Seca (dry border) | Duty-Free Shopping |
                Fortaleza de San Miguel | Avenida Internacional
            

The famous Avenida Internacional forms the state border - on one side lies Uruguay (Chuy), on the other Brazil (Chuí). This "frontera seca" allows you to walk from one country to another on foot. The town is a popular shopping destination for Brazilians who benefit from more favorable Uruguayan prices.
