El Callao, Administrative division in Bolívar state, Venezuela
El Callao Municipality extends across 3,810 square kilometers in southeastern Venezuela, with a population density of 5.7 inhabitants per square kilometer.
The discovery of gold deposits near the Yuruari River in 1854 led to the establishment of mining operations, attracting settlers from England and Brazil.
The UNESCO-recognized Carnival of El Callao features Caribbean music traditions, brought by immigrants from Trinidad during the nineteenth century mining period.
The municipality functions through the Alcaldía Bolivariana de El Callao, which provides administrative services and manages regional development programs.
Gold extraction in El Callao began in 1871, with the local mines producing substantial quantities of gold between 1860 and 1883.
