In the 1940s quarry workers outside of Sucre discovered something you don’t see everyday. In fact they found something that hadn’t been seen in 65 million years dinosaur tracks! Located along side a cement factory, the dinosaur tracks can be reached by a “dino truck,” which can offer an experience in itself! This will take visitors to a quarry that is about six miles from the city.

Made by the prehistoric creatures that called the region of Sucre their home about 65 to 70 million years ago, the tracks are part of a fossilized collection that is continuing changing. This is the largest collection of dinosaur tracks in the world, and these were pushed up vertically when two tectonic plates collided and pushed up, resulting in the formation of the Andes Mountains, and also making a natural museum. The soft limestone actually is soft, meaning the old fossils actual erode away while new ones appear all the time. This UNESCO protected site truly shows that even the most ancient human civilization were relative newcomers to Bolivia, and is more real than anything visitors will see while watching Jurassic Park!

The town of Potosi is about a three-hour drive from Sucre. Check out TripAdvisor's Potosi pages for attractions.
