Monagas, Administrative division in eastern Venezuela
Monagas encompasses 28,900 square kilometers of diverse terrain, including savannas, mountains, and the marshes of the Orinoco delta in northeastern Venezuela.
The region transformed from the Province of Maturín into Monagas State in 1909, named after Venezuelan president José Tadeo Monagas from the area.
The indigenous Warao and Chaima peoples maintain their traditions through curagua weaving, dance ceremonies, and regional dishes based on maize and fish.
The state capital Maturín connects to major Venezuelan cities through an established network of highways and regular flights from its commercial airport.
The Guácharo Cave, Venezuela's largest cave system, houses colonies of nocturnal oilbirds that indigenous peoples used for traditional divination practices.
