Municipio El Callao, Administrative municipality in Bolívar, Venezuela

El Callao Municipality spans 3,810 square kilometers in the state of Bolívar, containing one parish with the capital town of El Callao.

The region transformed from indigenous Maquiritare territory into a significant gold mining center following mineral discoveries in the Yuruari River during the 1870s.

The municipality received numerous immigrants from Caribbean islands in the 19th century, contributing to the development of local Calypso traditions.

The municipality maintains a population of approximately 25,000 residents, though unofficial numbers indicate higher figures due to mining activities.

The Yuruari River flowing through the municipality contains substantial gold deposits that influenced the region's economic development since the 19th century.
