of Boyacá
The Battle of Boyacá, the final feat of the independence of Colombia
Under the command of Simón Bolívar, the Liberation Campaign achieved a forceful
victory in the Battle of the Boyacá Bridge, an event that determined Colombian
independence. The Boyacá Bridge, located 14 kilometers from Tunja and 110 kilometers
from Bogotá, the site of one of the largest battles that have been fought in Colombian
territory for our independence: The Battle of Boyacá.
Occurred on August 7, 1819, it not only marked the end point in the warlike disputes for
power in Colombian territory, but it also established the independence victory that the
country had drawn on July 20, 1810. This confrontation has great historical importance in
the independence of Colombia, because it guaranteed the success of the liberation of the
Spanish empire with the definitive fall of the Viceroyalty of New Granada. It all started
with a series of struggles waged by the Liberation Campaign which — led by Simón
Bolívar — resisted the Spanish reconquest in 1819. After overcoming various obstacles,
the patriot army emerged victorious in the Gámeza fighting (July 11) and the Vargas
Reservoir (July 25), which were key in the outcome of the Battle of the Boyacá Bridge.
After 77 days of formation of the Liberation Campaign, that August 7 was decisive.
Bolívar's strategy was clear: to take by surprise the royalist army that, without remedy,
had to pass through the Teatinos River to go to Santafé, where it would be safe from
patriotic attacks. Under the command of Simón Bolívar, Francisco de Paula Santander
and José Antonio Anzoátegui, the patriot troop made up of 2,850 fighters (creoles,
mulattos, mestizos, zambos, indigenous and blacks) assaulted the royalist army that had
2,670 men led by Colonel José María Barreiro.
In a combat that lasted about six hours, the liberating troop took the victory and achieved
the surrender of the Spanish, who were taken prisoner. After being taken prisoner,
Barreiro attempted to bribe fifteen-year-old soldier Pedro Pascacio Martínez, who refused
and handed him over to Bolívar.
As soon as it became known of the realistic defeat, the viceroy Juan Sámano fled from
Santafé, a city that was left under the command of the Creoles. This battle not only
marked a definitive step in our independence, but it also influenced the victories of
Carabobo in Venezuela, Pichincha in Ecuador, and Junín and Ayacucho in Peru. The
bridge, which suffered severe damage, was rebuilt on August 7, 1919 by President Marco
Fidel Suárez.
