Chuspa is a village in the Venezuelan state of Vargas. The village is mainly a fishermen's location with some tourist attractions. It is connected through a coast road with La Guaira and Higuerote. The town is located at the side of the Chuspa river.
Conquistador Francisco Fajardo arrived to this place in 1555 in his quest to control the Caracas region. Cocoa plantations were established in the Chuspa Valley during the Colonial time.[1] During the 17th century plantation owners brought in African slaves in increasing numbers. The Chuspa region had about 200000 cocoa trees by the second half of the 19th century.
On 18 November 1813 a sea battle between the pro-independence and the Spanish forces took place between Puerto Francés and Chuspa. The pro-independence troops, led by Manuel Piar, ended up defeating the royalists.
