Chamangá is an area within a rocky terrain in the Flores Department of Uruguay, where a considerable quantity of ancient rock art has survived.[1].
The Chamangá River, a tributary of the Yí River, flows nearby.
In recent years there has been some considerable interest in these examples of rock art, both by the Uruguayan government [2] and by academic researchers.
