Sequeira, Uruguay

Sequiera is a village ("pueblo") in the south of the Artigas Department in northwestern Uruguay.

It is situated between the streams Arroyo Sequeira to the east and Zanja de los Talas to the west, both tributaries of Río Arapey Chico, which flows 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) south of the populated area.

On June 5 of that year Sequeira was surprised and defeated by troops led by Bernabé Rivera on the Arapey Chico.
