Choquepuquio[1][2][3] (possibly from Quechuachuqi metal, gold (Aymara), every kind of precious metal, pukyuspring, well)[4][5][6] is an ancient Wari site in Peru in the valley of Cusco. These extensive ruins are situated in the Quispicanchi Province, Lucre District, near the village of Huacarpay and the homonymous lake.[7]
The site dates back to c. 400 CE and lasted into the Colonial Period before its abandonment around 1530 CE.
