I'm not sure if this'll get seen but there is an article on Choqueqirao on the German language wikipedia and not one on the English version so it'd be great if someone could translate. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choquequirao

I tried to make a start but I don't think babelfish will do! Jhomayne

  • hmm, the German article seems to be a lot better then the english one now! Can someone translate it back !? may do it myself, time permitting Eŋlishnerd(Suggestion?|wanna chat?) 22:30, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Made a start. Translated the first two sections Location and History form the German Wiki. Not being native in German or English I think it turned out reasonably well, please feel free to improve the English Version yet more... Eric I don't yet have a reference but I question the assertion that restoration began in the 1970s.I was there in summer 1979 and it was totally overgrown, to like six inches from the tops of the door lintels, with leaf detritus and dirt. They would have had to begin restoration between July and the end of December. Vamos a ver.```` —Preceding unsigned comment added by 9eyedeel (talkcontribs) 19:05, 14 November 2007 (UTC) Also, I vote that the actual inhabitants spell Cuzco with a Z... it was that way on the beer 9eyedeel 22:56, 14 November 2007 (UTC)9eyedeel

[edit] POV?

" Choquequirao receives far fewer tourists than its sister but the ruin is no less delightful and is a good alternative to the sometimes overcrowded Machu Picchu." Okay...um, do we have any sources to support this blatantly POV statement? Benjamin Scrīptum est - Fecī 03:31, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
