About Magangue
Magangue is a city, Bolivar departamento, northern Colombia, on the Brazo de Loba (a branch of the Magdalena River). The original Indian village, Maganguey (Manguey), was discovered by Spanish explorers in 1532. The city was not actually founded, however, until 1610, when Diego de Carvajal expanded the indigenous settlement in the Pirinal Mountains.
