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]
