A wall in Bolivia is covered in thousands of dinosaur footprints, and it's becoming a major tourist attraction
Cal Orcko, located 3 miles south of downtown Sucre in Bolivia, is home to the world's largest and most diverse collection of dinosaur footprints from the Cretaceous Period.
The limestone cliff hosts about 5,000 dinosaur footprints, with many dating back 68 million years.
Discovered on the grounds of the local cement company Fancesa in 1985, the cliff was closed off to tourists after mining conditions and erosion began damaging the area.
After eight years of closures, tours started last year to allow visitors the opportunity to marvel at these footprints.
From the Parque Cretacico, which hosts a museum and dinosaur models, fossils, and paleontological information, you can take a one-hour guided tour to select areas of the wondrous paleontological site.
You'll also get to peak at "under footprints," the oldest layer of prints, which date back 70 million years.
The site contains the footprints of at least eight different species and stands as an ever-changing record of history in the Cretaceous era.
As parts become eroded, new prints are continuously being found in the area, which is why the park has submitted Cal Orcko to the Unesco World Heritage list in an effort to continue preserving the footprints.
