Choquerecuay

Choquerecuay stands beside the Santa River in the highlands of Áncash. This Inca site is divided by a north–south road: on one side lay a main plaza and a long hall or kallanka, while the other contains a ceremonial platform known as an ushnu. The remains of a colonial chapel also stand nearby. Together these structures show a place used under successive authorities in the valley between the mountain ranges of northern Peru.
