Churajon

The Churajón were a pre-Inca people of the Arequipa region in southern Peru. Between 600 and 1400 they occupied the Chili and Tambo valleys, building terraces, canals and reservoirs.

Around 1450 Inca armies reached the region, and the Churajón's coastal lands were reorganised into the provinces of Atico and Caravelí in Kuntisuyu. Their late cultural phase showed Inca influence, and their pottery bore geometric designs in red, black and white.
