Condorcaga

Condorcaga is a Chavin-influenced archaeological zone in the Chota Province, Lajas District, Cajamarca region of Peru. The hilltop site features a pre-Inca chullpa (stone tower) with carved reliefs depicting condors, a puma, a falcon, a human head, and small animals in a style showing clear Chavin cultural influence. Large quantities of ceramics suggest it functioned as a place of worship. The site also serves as a natural viewpoint but remains largely unexcavated and under-researched.
