[1][2] In 1809, Vicenta decided to put her properties and the large fortune to which she was heir to the service of the revolution, and her house was the center of several clandestine meetings of the patriots.
In those years, she maintained a relationship with José Calderón y Sanjinés, who had fought alongside Marshal Sucre in Ayacucho and was later part of the signing of the Chuquisaca Act that gave independence to Upper Peru.
General José Manuel de Goyeneche banished her to Cuzco under a fine of six thousand pesos, and later she could return to La Paz, taking refuge in one of her farms in Río Abajo.
Once the Bolivian War of Independence was over, on August 18, 1825, Vicenta gave Simón Bolívar the golden key of the city, as well as a silver garland studded with precious stones that she had made.
[4] In La Paz, there is a square dedicated to her memory with a statue of Vicenta sculpted by Victor Hugo Barrenechea, inaugurated on December 11, 1975.
