From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Deltaic System (Sistema Deltáico) is one of the nine geographical regions into which Venezuela is divided. It is located in the whole extension of Delta Amacuro State and a few kilometers of Monagas State, comprehending the totality of the mouths of the Orinoco. It is charachterized by being non-centric, lagoon lacking, and oceanic, somewhat similar to the delta of the Niger River. It is divided in two sections: the principal, at the northernmost part of the system, located between Caño Mánamo and the left shore of Caño Araguao, where the majority of villages are established, including the state capital, Tucupita; and the secondary, between the right shore of Caño Araguao and Río Grande.
