- After a year, they arrived in Tumbes and plundered the city and sent the wealth back to Panama and this was enough to convince settlers to join Pizarro's army.He was also joined by the conquistador Hernando De Soto and with these reinforcements they continued south and established the town of San Miguel which was also the base for future operations.
