Tocuyito

Tocuyito is a city of Venezuela, capital of the Libertador Municipality in Carabobo State.

This city is considered the entry point to Valencia from the motorways that lead to the Southwest (Barquisimeto) and South (towards Cojedes).

Tocuyito is located in the flatlands of Carabobo, at an altitude of 451 metres above sea level.

[citation needed] Southwest of the town is where the 1821 Battle of Carabobo took place, resulting in a joint Venezuelan-Colombian victory against the Spanish Army.

There was an important battle in Tocuyito on 14 September 1899, when the so-called Revolution for Liberal Restoration, led by Cipriano Castro, decisively defeated the governmental forces of president Ignacio Andrade.
