BRIEF HISTORY REVIEW Some archaeologists say that the Tallan Culture extended from the department of Piura to Tumbes, and according to the French scientist Paul Rivet, it extended by the north from the province of Manta (Ecuador) and by the south to Motupe (Lambayeque). However, other researchers say that this region had its own culture which it inhabitants were called "TUMPIS" that dedicated to fish and to collect fruits. During The Inca Period and under the government of the Inca Pachacutec, the Incas extended their domains as far as Tumbes. It was Huayna Capac, the last sovereign Inca that arrived to Tumbes and he will build roads and big store houses (Tambos) to storage food to supply the Imperial army. In 1532, Francisco, landed in Tumbes, he put in the beach "The Cross of the Conquest" which originated the actual name of this place of the "Caleta Cruz". On January 7th of 1821, Tumbes proclaimed its Independence. |
