[edit] History

The region was explored by the German conquistador Jorge de Espira in 1536.
There he encountered several Indian tribes from the Arawak family - Arauca, Caquetio, Lucalia, Girara, Chiricoa, Cuiba, Guahibo and Achagua.

Tame was founded by Alonso Pérez de Guzmán on June 12, 1628. He also founded "Espinosa de las Palmas" nearby, for civil spaniards .
I was destroyed a few years later, and Pérez de Guzmán and his soldiers killed by the Girara Indians of Tame in revenge for slavery treatment.
