    About your comment on Chuquisaca- Bolivia: Coconut Chicken: Chicken, chicha, condiments., I believe a more accurate description would be : Chicken au vin. ( I also believe that this name comes from the «Coq au vin» french dish, since wine was replaced by chicha in the making of this dish)
    Another thing ,please change from : «Juan de Padilla Azurduy» to Juana Azurduy de Padilla.

    I love the work you have done with your website. Keep up the good work.
