There's a wall in Bolivia that's covered in thousands of dinosaur footprints, and it's becoming a major tourist attraction
Cal Orcko, located three miles south of downtown Sucre in Bolivia, is home to the world's largest and most diverse collection of dinosaur footprints from the Cretaceous era.
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 historical footprints.

Then, you're taken through the cliff with your guide who explains the history behind the Sauropod (long-neck herbivores) footprints you'll see. There are tracks from entire herds of Sauropods, ranging from 26 feet long to as long an impressive 65 feet.
The site contains the footprints of at least eight different species and stands as an ever-changing record of history in the Cretaceous era.
There are two guided tours offered Monday through Saturday at noon and at 1 pm. Tours cost $4.35.
