Back in time....

After a freezing trip across the city of Sucre we arrive at the cement factory ready to go back in time. Waaaaaaay back to several million years ago when the dinasaurs roamed the earth - its a trip to the Parque Cretacico to see the dinasaur footprints.

The entrance to the park is guarded by some giant carne chompers but we ducked under them and met up with multiple ....pods and the largest plastic dinosaur in the world, all of which have walked in the Sucre area. Finally we reach the crown jewels of the exhibit, the wall on which can be seen the tracks of many dinosaurs.

Several million years ago Sucre lay at the edge of a lake and many different types of dinosaur walked down to the water for a drink, leaving their massive footprints behind. Over the last few millenia the Andies have been pushed up and up and what was once a flat surface has become a wall that can be viewed.

The hill was being mined for the lime that was to be used for cement but luckly there was a high magnesium content which stopped the miners and then a few years of rain washed off the loose gravel to reveal the Dino steps. 4 different species of dinosaur have been found in the hundreds of tracks that have been revealed.
