El Porteñazo
1962 military rebellion in Venezuela
El Porteñazo was a short-lived Communist military rebellion against the government of Rómulo Betancourt in Venezuela, in which rebels attempted to take over the city of Puerto Cabello, located ~75 miles (121 km) West of the capital Caracas. The rebellion was on a substantially larger scale than that of El Carupanazo a month earlier.
