Monagua Jungle

The forests and wetlands of the lower Orinoco extend towards the vast delta where the river reaches the Atlantic. Branching channels pass between wooded islands, palms and mangroves. The Warao inhabit the delta and use its waterways to move through a landscape shaped by flooding and tides. Farther west, the Guarapiche flows through the plains around Maturín towards the lower Orinoco country.
