Discovered in 1994, the huge Cal Orck’o limestone wall reveals the secrets of different dinosaur species that disappeared 68 million years ago. There are about 5055 dinosaur footprints belonging to at least 8 species, among which a world-record setting 581-metre trail left by a Theropod. The tracks are from the Late Cretaceous.
The dinosaur-themed Cretaceous Park, less than 300 m away, faces the limestone wall. It is one of South America’s most attractive tourist parks. The fabulous life-size replicas, true to their scientifically supported real-life appearance, are displayed in an authentic natural setting representing the last period of the age of dinosaurs in South America. The park features one of the largest dinosaur sculptures in the world, a 36 x 18-metre replica of a titanosaurus. As you step back into the past, our guided tours will make you understand and relive this majestic era.
Services offered by the dinosaur park include: guided tours to the wall with the dinosaur footprints at 12:00 noon and 1:00 pm; scenic viewers; an audiovisual room showing documentaries that help you understand the site’s importance in the past; a paleontological-themed museum; a gift shop as well as a lookout with great views of Sucre and the surrounding countryside.
