Chotuna-Chornancap, Pre-Columbian archaeological complex in Lambayeque, Peru.
The complex spans 20 hectares and features tiered pyramids, palaces, and walled compounds situated 12 kilometers northwest of Chiclayo.
German ethnologist Hans Heinrich Bruning conducted the first scientific studies of the site between 1910 and 1920, identifying it with the location called Chot.
The site contains multiple chambers with preserved wall paintings and friezes that demonstrate the artistic techniques of the Sican civilization.
Visitors can examine the excavation areas, architectural structures, and archaeological findings that connect to the legendary figure of Naymlap.
The 2011 discovery of a high-ranking priestess tomb included gold ornaments and eight female sacrificial burials surrounding the main chamber.
