Nico Pérez is a village in the Florida Department of central Uruguay. It is located on the border of the Lavalleja Department. It is in close proximity to José Batlle y Ordoñez. They are separated partly by Ruta 7 and partly by the railroad tracks. The two parts are joined by a bridge passing over the tracks.
