According to historian Don Jesus Maria
Otero, the mid-sixteenth century, the Paez Indians, natives of Tierra Adentro
and commanded by cacique Diego Calambás Vitonco fled his native land, to the
land where today are the municipalities of Jambaló It Pitayó, Caldonó, Toribio,
Tacueyó, Paniquitá, Novirao and others, for fear of reprisals from other tribes
in the provinces of Paez, who had joined to punish the cacique and his people
for helping the Spaniards in the conquest, subjecting their countrymen This
version can be confirmed because the Indians Caldonó possess dialect, customs,
traditions
