Discover La Trinidad


Discover La Trinidad

 

Spanish Period

The name Benguet was once limited to the 

area of what is now the La Trinidad Valley.  

Benguet is a native term which refers to a 

lake where water does not drain, referring 

to the former swamp area where no

natural drain existed. In search for gold, 

Spanish explorers led by Don M. Quirante 

discovered the valley in 1624. Its name 

La Trinidad is the namesake of her 

discoverer, Don Q.M. Quirante’s beloved 

and beautiful wife.
