Mene Mauroa
Farming village at the western end of Falcon, known as benchmark in Falcon Road Zulia, entry is only 4 kilometers from the border with the state of Zulia. There's a service station, shops and many fast food outlets. However, the village is four miles south east of the Falcon Zulia.
The Plaza Bolivar is in the center of town, in front of the Plaza Bolivar is the church,
To the east of the square, a few blocks, there is an interesting little square built a few decades ago by the Lions Club of Mauroa Mene, is called the Plaza de los Leones. It has a sort of structure that resembles an oil rig on which there is a metal figure, like bronze, depicting a lion's body with heads at both ends
On the road north of town is the area where the British oil company had its offices and residences of the employees came from Britain.
Reservoir MatícoraAbout 5 miles north of town is the reservoir dam Matícora which entered service in 1978 built by the Consortium Aconcagua - Angelo Milli. It was made for drinking water supply, irrigation and flood control. Its main tributaries are the river and streams Matícora Goajiro, Uca, and Riecito Mojino. The photo shows the drain of the dam, which becomes a great and powerful jet of water where people bathe.

Some historyMene's story of Mauroa is linked to oil exploitation *. Originally the award was named Bernabé Planas for the year 1907, it was acquired by British Controlled Oilfields Limited (BCOF), based in London, the year of 1912. After geologic exploration was started drilling the first wells in 1920. The first well was discovered in 1921 in the field called Mene, was the field man then painted in 1926 (named for the Indian petroglyphs found in the area) and finally the Media field in 1929.
The BCOF attracted a large amount of oil workers from different areas of the country and even staff of the British Caribbean. The oil field was transformed into a real village and it is thus taken as the founding date of 1918, ie Mene Mauroa soon reach its hundredth anniversary.
