Tolata (Quechua: Tulata) is a locality in the Cochabamba Department in central Bolivia.

[1] In January 1974, workers from Manaco shoe factory (founded by the Bata Corporation) in Quillacollo launched protests against the rising cost of staple foods.

They held an assembly to make demands from the government, then blockaded the roads connecting Quillacollo.

Peasant and worker groups in surrounding areas supported the action, and the government responded swiftly, with an armed occupation of Quillacolo and nearby villages.
