The Araona people are an ethnic group in Bolivia. Their population was 228 according to the 2012 census.[1] Their language is the Araona language which is spoken by 711 people although many speak Spanish as well.[1] The Araonans live in the headwaters of the Manupari river in northwest Bolivia. According to Alfred Métraux the Araona people and the Cavineño people are so intermixed with other Takanan-speaking peoples that it can be difficult to treat them separately.[2]
