The Arroyo de las Piedras is a river in Uruguay .

The Arroyo de las Piedras runs on the territory of the Departamentos Canelones and Montevideo , as the borderline of which it serves. According to Orestes Araújo, it rises between the Cuchilla Grande and one of its foothills east of Villa de San Isidro . From there it flows in a south-south-westerly direction before making a bend in a north-westerly direction at La Paz and Costa y Guillamón . Then it meets the left side of the Arroyo del Colorado in its lower reaches, which then forms the Rincón del Melilla together with the Río Santa Lucía .
