Kiyú – Ordeig is a coastal resort in the San José Department of southern Uruguay. It has two main nuclei apart, Kiyú at the west and Ordeig at the east, joined by a stripe of houses that runs parallel to the beach. The name Kiyú is often used to refer to the whole resort. The origin of the name is cricket in Guaraní.[1]
The resort is located on the Rio de Plata, around (by road) southwest of the intersection of Route 1 with Route 45, which lies just west of the city Libertad. Another road, also 15 kilometers long, starts on Route 1 at Puntas de Valdez and ends slightly west of the resort.
In 2011, Kiyú-Ordeig had a population of 423.[2]
