Plaza Gral José Ballivián
Trinidad's loveliest feature is its central plaza, with tall tropical trees, lush gardens and a community atmosphere. You can spend an evening eating ice cream and watching hundreds of family-laden motorbikes circling the square. In the past, traffic was refereed by a police officer in a big wooden chair, zapping red, yellow and green traffic lights by touching an electric wire against one of three nails. Today, it's boring old automatic lights.

Santuario Chuchini
The Santuario Chuchini (Jaguar's Lair) is one of the few easily accessible Paitití sites - mounds belonging to an ancient civilization. This wildlife sanctuary and camp sits on an 8ha loma (artificial mound). From the camp, you can take short walks in the rainforest to lagoons with caimans, other larger animals and profuse bird life.

Trinidad Cathedral
On the south side of Plaza Gral José Ballivián, Trinidad's cathedral was built between 1916 and 1931 on the site of a Jesuit church. It's not a particularly impressive building and doesn't even have its own bells - the on-the-hour bell ringing is played off a cassette and tends to sound like a cockerel on fire.
