Coroico Municipality, Administrative municipality in Nor Yungas Province, Bolivia.

Positioned at 2,054 meters above sea level, Coroico Municipality extends through mountainous terrain with peaks including Illimani and Kimsa Warmini.

The Spanish settlers established Coroico Viejo near the Quri Wayq'u river, relocating in the early 18th century after conflicts with native populations.

The population of 19,397 inhabitants includes Aymara and Mestizo communities who maintain traditional coca cultivation practices in designated production zones.

The municipality connects to La Paz via a modern highway constructed in 2006, replacing the former Yungas Road for primary transportation.

The Unidad Académica Campesina-Carmen Pampa operates as a branch of Catholic University, offering specialized programs in agronomy and veterinary science.
