A unique archeological monument, the pride of paleontologists and a special attraction of Bolivia - the Wall of the Dinosaurs, which our article will tell.
What is interesting about the place of interest?
The wall of the Dinosaurs is a plate about 1,2 km long and 30 meters high with a height. The age of the wall, according to archaeologists, is more than 68 million years. On the wall there are more than 5000 thousand traces belonging to 294 kinds of dinosaurs. The wall of dinosaurs is located in a small town of Kal-Orko near the capital of Bolivia Sucre .
In the Cretaceous period, the wall was the bottom of a fresh lake, to which dinosaurs came to drink water and get food. Over time, the structure of the earth's crust has undergone tremendous changes, and the wall has risen at an angle of 70 degrees, that is, almost vertically.
The wall of dinosaurs was accidentally discovered by the worker of the cement plant K. Schutt in 1994. It was from this time on, the place of Kal-Orko became a popular tourist attraction from tourists from all over the world, and the authorities even opened a museum dedicated to these giants. The museum presents models of some species of dinosaurs living on the territory of Bolivia in full growth.

The fare in the fixed-route taxi will be 11 boliviano, and the entrance to the museum - 26 boliviano.
