The Cochabamba Bolivia Temple is the 82nd operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).
Bolivia's first convert to the LDS Church was baptized in December 1964, a month after missionaries first arrived. Forty-four years later there were over 158,000 members across the country.[2]
