Choquepuquio[1][2][3] (possibly from Quechua chuqi metal, gold (<Aymara), every kind of precious metal, pukyu spring, 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 BC and lasted into the Colonial Period before its abandonment around 1530 BCE.
