Carabobo?

Sounds like "idiot face" (cara de bobo) in Spanish. Lol. Is there really a town/state called Carabobo in Venezuela?

Wikipedia seems to think there is. Valencia is a municipality within the state of Carabobo, located in the north of Venezuela.

So that's where Valencia is! Interesting.

Carabobo was the site of a campaign against the
Spanish during the war for Venezuela's independence.

The Battle of Carabobo was fought June 24, 1821.

Bolivar led independence fighters against Spanish
Royalist forces and his victory led to Venezuela's
independence.

I wonder where It's named after and what it means.

If it's Spanish, then it sounds hilarious. It it's an Indian name, then it must mean something.
