Vargas Swamp Lancers, or Monument to the Lancers (Spanish: Monumento a los Lanceros), is a large sculptural complex created by Colombian artist Rodrigo Arenas Betancourt and by engineer Guillermo Gonzalez Zuleta in the department of Boyacá (Colombia) as a memorial for the Battle of Vargas Swamp.
Bolivar's forces included the Llanero cavalry squadron of Llano Arriba armed with lances.
At this moment Colonel Juan José Rondón a hero of the Battle of Queseras del Medio led his small detachment of 14 lancers and charged Barreiro's horsemen at a point where the Spanish regulars were crowded onto a narrow track through swampland.
This sudden counter-attack by the lancers of the Llano Arriba squadron, as portrayed in the sculpture, was a decisive point in the winning of the battle.
Bolívar's main force moved up in support of the lancers and Barreiro's army, after suffering 500 casualties, fell back covered by the 2nd Numanicia Battalion as a rearguard.
