San Roque de Cumbaza
San Roque de Cumbaza (also known as San Roque) is a town in the San Martín Region of Peru, approximately a 45-minute drive northwest of the city of Tarapoto. Located in the Amazon rainforest, San Roque is home to a small community of people who mainly work in agriculture. Near the headwaters of the Cumbaza river, San Roque borders the ''Cordillera Escalera'' regional conservation area, a small mountain range in the low-jungle. The flora and fauna surrounding the town attract ''Tarapotinos'' each weekend to swim and relax alongside the river.
== History ==
In 1875, a family from Lamas, Peru named the town of San Roque after the Catholic Saint, Saint Roch.〔 While the town has officially existed since the mid-eighteenth century, traces of earlier human presence are evident by the discovery of stone axes.〔 Early inhabitants were drawn to the area due to the abundance of fish and local wildlife that find natural refuge in the mountains of the Cordillera Escalera.〔 First peoples included the Tananta and the Amasifuen.〔 During the 20th century, several Mestizo families emigrated from the city of Lamas and began to farm in the area.〔 Many of these families continue to live in San Roque and have been fundamental in establishing the present-day town.
The actual site of the town was originally built along the banks of the river, known as the Pampa.〔 However, in 1910 a devastating flood swept through San Roque and claimed many lives, convincing the remaining San Roquíños to relocate the town higher up the mountain.〔 The Pampa site now serves as a recreational area (''see Tourism below'').
In 1965, San Roque de Cumbaza District became a municipal district, with the town of San Roque as its capital.〔 The jurisdictional boundaries of the district also include the towns of Auacaloma, Chiricyacu, Aviación, and Chunchiwi. The most recent census (2007) noted 1508 people living inside the district.〔
