:"For other places and things named Trinidad, see Trinidad (disambiguation)."

Trinidad, officially La Santísima Trinidad ( _es. The Most Holy Trinity), is a city in Bolivia, capital of the department of Beni. The population is 86,400 (2006 official estimate).

The city was founded in 1686 by Padre Cipriano Barace about 14 kilometers from its present location. The original city was on the Mamoré River, but flooding and disease in 1769 forced a move.
Sited on the Southern edge of the Amazon basin on the Llanos de Moxos/Mojos, the climate is hot and humid at all times.
One of the more notable features of the city are the open drains that surrounds every block of buildings. These are linked to together by lidded ditches and thence to the local river. These are necessary due to the heavy rainfall that occurs between December and May.
