Don Julio Pinedo (born 19 February 1942) is the ceremonial king of the Afro-Bolivian community of the Nor Yungas province,[1] crowned in 1992, forty years after the death of the previous king, his grandfather Bonifacio Pinedo.[2] His coronation took place during a Catholic ceremony in the chapel at the hacienda of the Marquis de Pinedo.[3]

In between the death of his grandfather and his succession, his mother Aurora Pinedo served as princess regent. His position gained official recognition in 2007 when he was sworn in by the prefect of La Paz.[4][5] Pinedo is Catholic and works as a farmer and shop owner.[6]
