Formation of the Comité Central de Rondas del Tulumayo (Tulumayo Central Committee of Rondas).

In March 1990, delegates from all the communities of Upper and Lower Tulumayo met in a general assembly, agreeing to form the Central Committee of the Rondas Campesinas of Upper and Lower Tulumayo. This organization emerged as a response to the violence exercised by the PCP-SL in the area, which since 1987 had convulsed the valley's communities. Participating communities included people from Parco, Huancamanta, Lucmayo and Macon (annexes of the Cochas district), and Comas, Talhuis, and Racracalla (annexes of the Comas district). The formation of this central committee represented a coordinated peasant self-defense effort in the Tulumayo watershed.
