Chongoyape is the birthplace of the famous song "La Chongoyapana" composed by professor and poet Arthur Schutt Saco.

Hace algún tiempo que te enamoro, Chongoyapana; pero mi llanto, ni mis suspiros tu pecho ablandan.

para este pobre que te ha venido siguiendo, ingrata... Sé que tus ojos abrasadores miran con ansias.

Con que así mira no me desdeñes, niña simpática; porque aburrido tal vez me ahorque de tu ventana.
