  • The place Potreros de Arerunguá or simply Arerunguá is located in the center and north of Uruguay on the homonymous stream, the . It extends over territories that are currently part of the departments of Salto and Tacuarembó. Its historical importance lies in having been a refuge for the Charrúas as a result of the gradual Spanish colonial expansion, then during the revolutionary independence period and finally in the first decades of independent Uruguay, until their almost total extermination in the Massacre of Salsipuedes in 1831. According to the historian Carlos Maggi in his book El Caciquillo, this may have been one of the places where José Gervasio Artigas lived during his "years in the desert", the name usually given to the long period when Artigas was between 14 and 33 years of age. Maggi investigates the possibility that it was among the Charrúas that José Artigas had his first partner and his first son, later known as Manuel Artigas and nicknamed "El Caciquillo". In February 1805 Artigas requested and obtained from Commander Francisco Javier de Viana, representative of the Viceroy, over 105,000 hectares (260,000 acres) of land in Arerunguá. This, then, would be the place chosen by José Gervasio Artigas, Protector of the Free Peoples, as the center of operations and headquarters of the (Eastern Army) during the period of the in the Río de la Plata. These characteristics place Arerunguá as a region of enormous historical value, given that it was where substantial elements of the "orientality" that distinguishes the essence of the Uruguayan nation emerged and matured.

  • El paraje Potreros de Arerunguá o simplemente Arerunguá, ocupa una importante extensión ubicado al centro y norte de la República Oriental del Uruguay sobre el arroyo homónimo. Se extiende sobre territorios que actualmente forman parte de los departamentos de Salto y Tacuarembó.​ Su importancia histórica radica en haber sido refugio de las familias Charrúas a raíz de la paulatina expansión colonial española, luego, durante el período revolucionario independentista y finalmente en las primeras décadas del Uruguay independiente, hasta su exterminio casi total en la Matanza del Salsipuedes en 1831.[cita requerida] Según relata el historiador Carlos Maggi en su libro “El Caciquillo”, este pudo haber sido uno de los sitios de permanencia de Artigas durante sus “años en el desierto”. Así suele denominarse al largo período comprendido entre los 14 y 33 años de edad del Prócer. Maggi indaga la posibilidad de que entre los Charrúas, tuvo José Artigas su primera pareja y a su primer hijo, conocido posteriormente como Manuel Artigas y apodado, precisamente “El Caciquillo”. En 1805 Artigas solicita y obtiene del comandante Viana, representante del virrey más de 105 mil hectáreas en Arerunguá.​ Luego, este sería el lugar elegido por José Gervasio Artigas, Protector de los Pueblos Libres como centro de operaciones y cuartel general del durante el período de la en el Río de la Plata. Estas características sitúan a Arerunguá como lugar de un enorme valor histórico, dado que allí surgieron y maduraron elementos sustanciales de la “orientalidad” que distingue el ser Oriental en su esencia de nación.​ (es)
