After this encounter the Peruvian Navy, composed at that time of 16 warships and transports, among them the frigate Presidente and the mentioned corvette Libertad, starts a naval blockade ordered by Peruvian Government on September 19, 1828; on the entire Gran Colombian Pacific coasts, from Machala (Ecuador) to Panama. Thanks to this action the Gran Colombian Navy was unable to use its main ports in the Pacific.
