Tumbes has its origins back in pre-Inca times when it was inhabited by a cultural group of natives called Tumpis. At its peak, its population is estimated to have reached 178,000.<br> | |||
<br><br> | Tumbes was first visited by a Spanish conquistador during the start of the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire in 1528. | ||
When Tumbes declared its independence from Spain it opted to join Peru believing in the right of free determination of peoples. The Protocol of Rio de Janeiro signed in 1942 with Ecuador legally confirmed Peru's previously de facto rights over Tumbes after a victorious war but, lasting peace between both countries was not achieved until 1998. | |||
