It is located between Coche and El Valle parishes, both south of the Libertador Municipality and southwest of the Caracas Metropolitan District, to the north center of Venezuela.

It houses military structures and sports, urban, cultural, financial spaces.^[3] The Tiuna City complex is thousands of homes built by the Ministry of Habitat and Housing and Residences, and assigned to military personnel.

It is bordered largely by the Regional Highway of the Center and the Valle Coche Highway.

It was struck in the 2026 United States intervention in Venezuela among other targets, such as Generalissimo Francisco de Miranda Air Base.^[4] The strike prompted an evacuation of the base.^[2] Both then-president Nicolás Maduro and then-first lady Cilia Flores were captured by the US military's Delta Force at the facility. They were extracted from the country and taken to USS Iwo Jima, before being transported to Guantanamo, before finally being taken by plane to New York City to face trial.^[5][6]
