Tumbes was first discovered by the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro during the Spanish conquest of Peru in 1528.
Tumbes dates back to pre-Inca times when it was inhabited by a cultural group of natives called Tumpis.
Tumbes is a great vacation spot for the water enthusiast. The Pacific waters are warm and the white sandy beaches are very pretty. Fishing, swimming, water-skiing, yachting and canoeing are all great pastimes to enjoy here.
Also here is the famous Caleta de la Cruz de Pizarro, where the conqueror landed more than 400 years ago.
