Guayape is a municipality in the west of the Honduran department of Olancho, west of Salamá, south of Yocón and north of Concordia.

Guayape is divided into three huge territories. Some even covering the river. The lands are divided by the three families that control it. The Riveras, The Lagos, and the Guerreros.

Although not a very well known place, even to Hondurans, Guayape has beautiful landscapes, and endless waterfalls. It has also some of the richest and fertile soil in Honduras.
