Tumbaco, Parish and municipality in Quito Metro, Ecuador
Located in the eastern valleys of Quito Metropolitan District at 2,355 meters elevation, Tumbaco features agricultural lands and residential neighborhoods across its territory.
Archaeological findings indicate human settlements in Tumbaco dating back to 4400 BC, followed by Inca control under Huayna Capac in the late fifteenth century.
The name Tumbaco originates from the indigenous term 'Tumpaku kitilli', reflecting the deep connection between current inhabitants and native populations of this region.
The parish provides essential municipal services and maintains strong transportation links with central Quito, facilitating daily commutes for residents working in the capital.
