Today the name "Chirimoya Cumbe" has its own characteristic logo and, more importantly, is registered in the name of the village of Cumbe (in Class 31 of the International Classification), and the latter are working to gain a competitive edge over their rivals in Lima's Wholesale Fruit Market.
The owner of the collective mark registration is the village of Santo Toribio de Cumbe, composed of 106 residents duly recorded in the population census.
Cumbe is the name of a valley in Peru where the chirimoya grows.
Cumbe Mayo is located about 12 miles southwest of the Peruvian city of Cajamarca, at an elevation of approximately 11,000 feet.
It is thought to have been constructed around 1500 B.C. and may be the oldest existing man-made structure in South America.
The name Cumbe Mayo may be derived from a Quechua phrase, kunpi mayu, meaning “well-made water channel,” or hunpi mayo, meaning “thin river.” There are a number of petroglyphs on the aqueduct and surrounding caverns.
