Municipio Ribas

Municipio Ribas is an administrative division in Guárico State, divided into two parishes called Tucupido and Laya. Tucupido serves as the municipal seat where local government offices coordinate regional affairs.

The area took shape as an administrative unit after the Federal War of the 1860s, when Venezuela reorganized its provincial system. Since then it has adapted to changing national structures and requirements.

The community keeps strong agricultural roots that shape daily life and local identity in the region. Farming and livestock raising form the backbone of how people work and interact with their surroundings.

Visitors will find government offices and administrative services centered in Tucupido, which serves as the main point of contact. Planning to go there first helps you navigate the municipality more easily.

The two parishes of Tucupido and Laya have distinct geographic features and economic focuses within the same municipality. Even though they share administrative ties, each maintains its own local character and development patterns.
