Apart from all that one may expect in the historical capital of Bolivia (such as historical museums, churches and colorful markets), Sucre recently acquired a new attraction – dinosaur tracks. The footprints were discovered just a decade ago in a cement quarry 10 km from the city. There is now a “dino-truck” that takes tourists from Sucre’s central square to the site and back. The city is quite obviously very proud of the site, since a statue of a dinosaur now greets tourists in the airport.

The tracks are exposed to the elements and get eroded quickly. However, luckily, new ones (from deeper layers) pop up continuously. As a result, the tracks you see change every year. We were told there is a plan for a 10 mln euro project to cover the stone in plastic or something like that.
