The Aguano (also Awano,[3] Ahuano, Hilaca,[4] Uguano, Aguanu, Santacrucino, Tibilo[5]) are a people of Peru. In 1959, they consisted of 40 families. They inhabit the lower Huallaga and upper Samiria Rivers, and the right bank tributary of the Marañon River.[1]

Today they farm and have largely converted to Roman Catholicism.[2]
