Páez, Administrative division in Apure State, Venezuela
Páez is an administrative division in western Apure State, spanning a large territorial area across multiple districts. The municipality is organized around Guasdualito, which serves as its administrative center.
This area received its current administrative structure in the 19th century following the Federal War, when Venezuela reorganized its territorial divisions. The changes reflected broader national reshaping of municipal boundaries.
Spanish remains the primary language of communication throughout the Páez Municipality, where local government conducts all official proceedings and documentation.
This is a rural area with limited urban facilities, so visitors should plan ahead and arrange essentials before arriving in remote zones. Road conditions and service availability can be basic in many parts of the region.
Guasdualito serves as the municipal capital, functioning as the central administrative hub for the five parishes: Aramendi, El Amparo, Guasdualito, Urdaneta, and San Camilo.
