Quinaroa

What is quinaroa? It is mentioned in the stories that I have read ... ... Indians go to Queens ...? 3

This is a story based on Latin America. I'm sure it was somewhere, but is it the old name of a place these days? The author is Isabel Allende, The Phantom Palace.

I think the only results you can get are your question, the book you read, and 8 results in Spanish (or Portuguese). Looks like it's somewhere, but I can't find it anywhere. If you speak Spanish, other results may help you in your search.
