Condorcaga is a Chavin-influenced archaeological zone in the Chota Province, Lajas District, Cajamarca region of Peru [1] [2]. 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 Chavin cultural influence [2]. Large quantities of ceramics suggest it functioned as a place of worship [2]. The site also serves as a natural viewpoint but remains under-researched [1] [2].
