Choquepuquio

Choquepuquio (possibly from Quechua chuqi metal, gold (Aymara), every kind of precious metal, pukyu spring, well) is an ancient Wari site in Peru in the valley of Cusco [1]. These extensive ruins are situated in the Quispicanchi Province, Lucre District, near the village of Huacarpay and the homonymous lake [1]. The site dates back to c. 400 CE and lasted into the Colonial Period before its abandonment around 1530 CE [1].
