Valles del Tuy[1] is the name given to a region of Venezuela, covering several municipalities in the north central Miranda State[2] of Venezuela. It was called Tuy, because it is in an area around the Tuy River, one of the most important of that state, a valley between the Cordillera de la Costa (north) and the Serrania del Interior (south). The area is also considered one of the five subregions of Miranda state, though without any official organization or administrative group. It holds the Valles del Tuy Metropolitan Area.
