Nekok Yaotl
Nekok Yaotl, or Nicoya, was a Chorotega chiefdom centred on the Nicoya Peninsula in present-day Costa Rica. Subordinate chiefs around the Gulf of Nicoya depended on its ruler, while a council of elders selected the monarch. In 1522 Gil González Dávila visited the ruler Nicoya, collected gold and had thousands of people baptized; Nicoya was later succeeded by Nambí.
