Municipio Simón Planas, Municipal administrative division in Lara State, Venezuela.
Municipio Simón Planas is an administrative division located in eastern Lara State, bordered by Yaracuy, Portuguesa, Cojedes, and Iribarren. The municipality covers a region with varied terrain and rural communities spread across three parishes.
Established in 1990, this municipality was named after Simón Planas, a government official who played an important role in Venezuelan history. His legacy is connected to a significant decree that abolished slavery in the country.
The three parishes of Sarare, Buría, and Gustavo Vegas León form the backbone of this administrative area. Each one has its own local character and contributes differently to how people live and work in the region.
Sarare serves as the main administrative center, where people can handle official matters and access local services. The rural nature of the area means that services and facilities are spread out, so planning ahead is helpful for visitors.
This municipality ranks among the least populated compared to the other eight municipalities in Lara State, reflecting how settlement patterns vary across the region. Despite its smaller size, it maintains its own administrative structure and local governance.
