The Achagua (also Achawa and Axagua) are an indigenous people of Colombia and Venezuela.^[1] At the time of the Spanish colonization of the Americas, their territory covered the present-day Venezuelan states of Bolívar, Guárico and Barinas.^[2] In the late twentieth century there were several hundred Achaguas remaining.^[2]

Achagua people live in large villages. Clans live together in communal houses. Polygamy is commonplace. They farm crops, such as bitter cassava. They traditionally poison their arrows with curare.^[1]

There is a small town in Apure called Achaguas.

Achagua people speak the Achagua language, a Maipurean Arawakan language.^[1]
