Barra de Valizas, also known as simply Valizas is a resort (balneario) in the Rocha Department of southeastern Uruguay.
It is located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) east of the Km. 271 of Route 10 and about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) north of Cabo Polonio with a long stretch of huge dunes separating them.
In December 2014, Valizas was the site of the murder of Lola Chomnalez, which gained nationwide notoriety.[1]
