The Cochabamba Bolivia Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Cochabamba, Bolivia. The intent to build the temple was announced on January 13, 1995, by the church's First Presidency. It is the first in Bolivia and the church's 82nd operating temple worldwide. The temple has a multilevel tower on a square base that stands above the structure, and the front has five tall, arched windows of art glass. The temple was designed by BSW and church personnel, using a classic modern design reflecting Bolivian culture. A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify the beginning of construction, was held on November 10, 1996, with church president Gordon B. Hinckley presiding.
