Map of the Department of La Paz
The Department of La Paz is located in the southwestern part of the country. It has a territorial area of 2,525 km².
The reasons that influence the creation of the department of La Paz were largely due to the lack of attention of the authorities of Comayagua to the peoples of that jurisdiction, a situation that allowed the autonomy of the local authorities.
Boundaries:
- North: Department of Comayagua
- South: Department of Valle and the Republic of El Salvador
- East: Departments of Comayagua and Francisco Morazán
- West: Department of Intibucá.
