Tinguaro (died December 1495) was a Guanche sigoñe ( transl. warrior) of Tenerife, also known as Chimechia and Achimenchia Tinguaro.
Tinguaro was in charge of the area known as Acentejo. Half-brother of the mencey ( transl. king) Bencomo, Tinguaro led the Guanche forces to victory against the invading Castilians in the First Battle of Acentejo. He fell at the Battle of Aguere, a crushing defeat for the original population of the island, resulting in the conquest of the island by the Castilians. [1]
