Kiyú - Ordeig is a coastal resort in the San José Department of southern Uruguay. It is located on the Rio de Plata, around 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) (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. The resort has two main nuclei 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) 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.
