Colcapirhua (Hispanicized spelling of native Quechua: Qullqapirwa, a place where things are stored)[2] is a town in the Cochabamba Department in central Bolivia.

In ancient times the local inhabitants were characterized by the production of jars, pots and vases made of mud and clay, so that its inhabitants, pottery experts are called in Quechua "Mank'a llutas" (makers of pots).
