New Attraction for Tourists in Lambayeque
By Wilfredo Sandoval
For El Comercio
A new place for history and culture has opened. The museum of Chotuna-Chornancap is one of a kind because instead of showing voluptuous gold and silver jewellery, the riches of our ancestors or other ornaments and allegories of the old governors of the northern cultures of Peru, its shows the visitors the real story of the ancient Lambayequean man.
All this, in addition, in the same place where the Lambayeque culture was born, a powerful dynasty that later reigned the entire valley.
The visitors of this new touristic attraction will witness the reconstruction of various scenes that occurred 1250 years ago in what is now the district of San José.
Here, people will discover an extraordinary story that, with years of investigation, ceased being just a legend. This is the story of the mythical landing of Naylamp, half hero, half god. This character arrived on northern shores accompanied by a singular cortege made up of dozens of people.

The story began in the summer of 1987, when the Chiclayo police force arrested a gang of thieves who had sacked a Sipán tomb and confiscated several pieces, including an important gold mask. This incident alerted Walter Alva, who immediately organized an emergency plan aimed at combating the constant threats to the region’s archaeological remains.
