Municipio Guacara

Municipio Guacara is an administrative municipality in Carabobo region that extends across different geographical landscapes. The area includes mountainous terrain in the north and flat lands near Lake Valencia in the south, with three civil parishes within its boundaries.

The municipality was founded in 1694 and played an important role during Venezuela's independence movement. The Battle of Vigirima took place in 1813 within this territory, marking a key moment in the nation's liberation history.

The San Agustín Fair takes place each August, bringing together residents and visitors to enjoy traditional Venezuelan music, dance performances, and regional food specialties. The local community celebrates its connection to the region and shares its culinary traditions during this gathering.

The main highway connects the area to larger cities, while local bus routes enable transportation within the three civil parishes. Visitors can travel relatively easily between different parts of the municipality since the road network links the northern and southern sections together.

The Piedra Pintada Archaeological Park preserves petroglyphs and artifacts from Arawak tribes, documented since 1996. These rock carvings reveal the ancient presence of these peoples in the region and provide insights into their lives before European contact.
