The Río Tacuarí is a river in eastern Uruguay .
It rises in the area of the Cerro Largo department west of Puntas del Parao in the Cuchilla Guazunambí . From there it first flows in a northerly direction for a total length of 230 km and changes the direction of flow after a relatively short distance to the east, to then flow south of Melo from northwest to southeast to the border of Treinta y Tres . He passes the places Arachania and later also Plácido Rosas . On its further course it forms the department boundary up to the mouth. It finally flows into the Laguna Merín west-southwest of Lago Merín . The size of its catchment area is about 3,600 km². A tributary of the Río Tacuarí is the Arroyo Chuy del Tacuarí .
The previously unknown cichlid species Gymnogeophagus tiraparae was discovered in the Río Negro and Río Tacuarí basins .
