Tampacal

Tampacal was one of the successive sites of Pedraza in the western Venezuelan Llanos. The colonial town moved there in 1712, settling on a plain between the Miricacoy and Los Negros watercourses. Its inhabitants had already moved from earlier sites because of illness and poor conditions. The settlement was moved again in 1786 to the western bank of the Canaguá River, where Pedraza was re-established.
