Tariba is called the first city of the State of Tachira. Even though it doesn't have a formal foundation, as in the case of Caracas or San Cristobal, Tariba developed in the place of an ancient Indian town, discovered by Alonso Perez de Tolosa (who was accompanied by Diego de Losada) in 1546. There, this episode is called "Entry of Tariba in History"
