main lagoons. Trinidad is
also one of the first five Jesuit mission towns established and these
are now part of the Misiones tour includes visits to San Javier, Loreto,
San Pedro and San Ignacio de Moxos as well. Trinidad and San Ignacio de
Moxos both take part in the International Baroque Music Festival every
two years in Bolivia.
Trinidad has a small plaza that is located
two blocks from the main plaza where one can see a large stone map of
the department of Beni. It is tilted forward and appears to be standing
on its own. However, if you walk to the back of it, you�ll see statues
of several people holding it up. The slogan under the map says �Beni�s
progress will always depend on its own people�s efforts�. Benianos are
very independent. Although this area of Bolivia has for centuries been
practically forgotten by the central government, it continues to
progress due to its citizen�s enterprising spirit
