'''Trinidad''', '''Kimsantin''' officially '''La Santísima Trinidad''' (Spanish, '{{lit|The Most Holy Trinity'}}), is a city in [[Bolivia]], capital of the department of [[Beni Department|Beni]]. The population is 130,000 (2010 official estimate). While historically a peripheral city in Bolivia, Trinidad is today an important center for the Bolivian Bovine industry and has enjoyed a modest economic boom in recent years and enjoys an [[HDI]] index of above 0.700.

The city was founded in 1686 by Father Cipriano Barace. In 1769 the town moved to its current location, 9 miles away, due to flooding. The original city was on the [[Mamoré River]], but flooding and disease forced a move on the location of the city. It is located in the province of Cercado, one of Beni’s eight provinces.{{cn|date=January 2023}}

One of the more notable features of the city is the open drains that surrounds every block of buildings. These are linked together by lidded ditches and thence to the local river. These are necessary due to the heavy rainfall that occurs between December and May.{{cn|date=January 2023}}

Trinidad, located at the southern edge of the Amazon basin on the [[Llanos de Moxos]], is hot and humid most of the year. This region of the country is heavily forested and many large rivers (all tributaries of the Amazon river) run through [[Beni Department|Beni]]. Like most cities in Bolivia, it is built around a central plaza with a large Catholic cathedral as its centerpiece. Trinidad was originally a small Jesuit town but is now a large city with over 100,000 inhabitants. Its mission-style church was demolished and rebuilt in 1923. Despite these changes, many of the original religious relics, paintings and statues are still housed in the cathedral, which faces the main plaza.

Under the [[Köppen climate classification]], Trinidad has a [[tropical monsoon climate]] bordering on a tropical savanna climate(''Am'') with a lengthy rainy season and a short dry season. The area receives ample rainfall, but is divided sharply between wet and dry seasons. Trinidad is technically Bolivia's wettest departmental capital, with more thanover {{convert|1,400mm400|mm|in|0|disp=or}} inmore precipitationrain falling than in the capitacapital La Paz (600mmwhich receives around {{convert|600|mm|in|0|disp=or}}).
