It’s the world’s largest concentration of dinosaur footprints, unique in quantity and diversity.
Description:
For a prehistoric adventure, head out to Parque Cretácico near the whitewashed city of Sucre, which houses the world’s largest collection of dinosaur footprints. Travel back in time some 68 million years, when dinosaurs ruled the earth and most of the surrounding region was at sea level. The museum has an auditorium and series of exhibitions detailing this critical part of evolution, and there’s also a resort at the park so you can stay near the cliff that overlooks the massive, still-preserved dinosaur footprints.
Facts:
Footprints belong to 15 species, including a unique 347-meter trail by a baby T-Rex. Over 150,000 visitors per year. Located on an active quarry site.
Significance:
Global value. Listed as a candidate for UNESCO World Heritage status.
