Oreobates zongoensis is a species of frog in the Craugastoridae family. It is endemic to Bolivia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.[1]
Oreobates zongoensis is only known from the holotype from Zongo Valley in the Murillo Province. The type locality has been entirely destroyed with the construction of a hydroelectric power plant, and it is not known whether the species still survives, despite efforts to find it.[1][2]
