    Very interesting place to witness where dinosaurs walked. Great guide, go for 12 or 1 when you can get a guided tour right up close to the footprints. It's fun to do the virtual reality head set too!

    This park has not that much to offer, but they do have some interesting things. They have nice kids entertainment spot where little ones can dig in a sandbox imagine themselves like real archeologists and try to find an artificial dinosaur skeleton. What a great idea to give the kids the opportunity to keep them busy, entertained and excited at the same time! Great job! Also the park has a very interesting entertainment with 3D glasses where kids can have lots of fun! Giving this park only 4* because of the size, as it’s very small competing to other similar parks. Although this place has tons of potential!

    I was a bit skeptical when I first arrived but the tour was great. We caught the bus at 11am from the main Plaza in Sucre for 15 bolivianos. Worth the visit! 30 BOB entry.

    This amazing little spot brought back all my childhood memories of loving dinosaurs. It's incredible to see these footprints that are millions of years old right in front of you. And then of course the park itself is very nice with dinosaur replicas and small Museum. I highly recommend this place if you are on Sucre!

    Interesting place to visit, there is bus you can take it from the main square, to go and back. You should pay a entrance fee also a photograph permission. There are tours in Spanish and English. You should wear comfy shoes for the trek to visit the dinosaur steps, they provide you a helmet.

    How can a huge rock wall with fossilized dinosaur footprints not get five stars? I thought it was amazing! There isn't much more to the park other than the wall - unless you have young children. They had an interesting park and some dinosaur statues around. There are 5 DinoBus departures from the main square in Sucre: 9:30, 11, 12, 14, 15. BUT, make sure you go on one of the tours at the park so that you can see the wall up close. I think there are only 2 tours each day, maybe 11:30 and 13:00? (check the website).

    One of the worst museum's I've seen. The "guide" or the "reading-script-talking-machine-X2 speed" is horrible, speeding us everywhere and we could not understand much. Then you have to wait for 1:30 hour with nothing to do and no wifi until we can get to the actual footprints on the big wall... very deceptive for such a worldwide and national attraction.

    Interesting place to visit if you are interested in the dinosaur world. Great park to bring children. They have a playground and a number of dinosaur replicas, a virtual reality tour and a museum. The "Huella" tour to visit the foot prints is for people over the age of 12. A bus (15 bs) takes you from the Cathedral at Plaza 25 de Mayo. Entry: 30bs for foreigners. Recommended.

    Interesting place to visit. No wheelchair facility if you wanna see the footprints closer. But it’s an attraction for all ages and very interesting. Info are available in English and Spanish. The guide is good and provide good knowledge in English and Spanish. Worth visiting if you have time in Sucre. Easy to reach! Just 6 km from downtown. Entrance is 30 bls for foreigners and 10 bls for locals.

    A great visit. Made us want to watch Jurassic Park again! Knocked down one star as we joined the English footprints tour but it started in Spanish and we only got an English explanation once we asked for it.

  • 4/5 Andres R. 1 year ago on Google
    Worth the visit if you have the time, it is fascinating stuff. The main attraction was the wall of footprints. Took the micro from Junin St. near the market and took it to the last stop, where you can take it back to the Mercado Central.

  • 4/5 Sergiu B. 1 year ago on Google
    Interesting, but not alllowed to go with kids under 12 to see the footprints. Entrance- 10bs for kids, 30 for adults(20 for Bolivians). Bus from Sucre's main square is 10bs for kids and 15bs for adults - return trip.

  • 4/5 Nils J. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place. Good English tour. I would avoid going here on rainy days. The quarry floods quickly and loose rock started falling. Definitely worth wearing the provided hard hats as our guide was hit by a stone.

  • 4/5 Maike F. 7 months ago on Google
    Really interesting to see prehistoric footsteps right in front of you on a massive vertical wall. Guided tours of both the dinosaur park and the actual footsteps are included. As a pre-warning, there is a steep climb up up the hill to the park and museum, down to the footsteps plus then back up the same hill which isn’t ideal if not prepared and not accessible to all. Definitely still worth the visit if you’re able.

  • 5/5 Gavin M. 9 months ago on Google
    Very cool place to visit! The wall is very interesting and there are multilingual guided tours that let you get super close to the wall.

  • 5/5 Michael R. 4 years ago on Google
    Very enjoyable and informative park. Shuttle goes from the main plaza in Sucre at 11am each day. Make sure you arrive before 12 or 1 to get the full footprint tour

  • 5/5 Cupcakes and C. 5 years ago on Google
    We caught the bus from the main Plaza (keep your ticket as it covers to/from bus), but you can also catch a taxi. It is on the outskirts of town, so a bit far to walk on a fairly busy road. You can spend about 1 to 2 hours here easily. The location has a film (in Spanish but still interesting if you are not a speaker), tours of the grounds which have to scale models of various dinosaurs, a few rooms with history and examples of bones etc from the era, a cafe, and a viewpoint to see the entire wall. Do the walk tour down to the wall itself. It's amazing to be so close to the prints, but hard to really capture them in a photo. The tour runs only about 2 times a day, because at the chosen times the sunlight angle is best to actually see the prints clearly. The guide did a great job explaining ho the prints were made, how they came to be at an angle, and how they were found. As a small travelling family, visiting this location with a child was a no-brainer. It's the main event for kids and (young and old) here. ***Very young children may not be allowed to go on the wall tour*** as it is located on the end of the working cement factory (a part of the history and reason the prints were found). The main reason is that you have to wear hard hats in the wall area, and these helmets are not made for child heads. (About 8 years old was their threshold. If the hat fits, wear it!) Younger kids would still enjoy the other things to see and do on the grounds. There is a dinosaur themed playground inside the grounds for kids to explore. As a pairing with this location, make sure you also take your kids to the main downtown Parque Bolivar where there is all sorts of dino related things to play on!

    Nice place with some actual replicas of dinosaurs, interesting videos are shown before the actual visit starts and local guides give out basic info about the place. You may get closer to the actual dinosaur tracks only around midday on a tour that starts about 11:00 am...lots of dust and sun, so have some sunblock and suncaps ready...

  • 5/5 Arthur F. 2 years ago on Google
    The dinosaurs footprints are very interesting. You can go down with a guide to see them up close (highly recommended, however it is a bit rocky, so bring according shoes). Every dinosaur within the park is a replica of actual scale and with a high level of details. Overall a great experience with an incredible view.

    Beautiful place with great workers and a cool little overlook/restaurant

  • 5/5 Clara M. 4 years ago on Google
    We caught the Dino bus from the centre of sucre (return 15bs). A knowledgeable guide showed us around the park and explained all the dinosaur history of Bolivia and South America. We then got a second tour guide to the Dinosaur footprint wall. Both were in English and included in the 30bs entry. There are a lot of steps to the footprints, so be aware. Overall a lovely half day trip from Sucre!

  • 5/5 Julien R. 4 years ago on Google
    The wall is impressive. It worth the visit! The museum not that much.

  • 3/5 Danny M. 4 years ago on Google
    Footprints were super interesting and I guess worth the visit for just those, but the rest of the park isnt too grest

  • 2/5 Melinda N. 4 years ago on Google
    Small museum, good for families, but not much going on. Large footprint can ONLY be seen from 12-1pm with a guided tour. Spent about 20 mins total exploring the small park.

  • 5/5 Shannon G. 4 years ago on Google
    Park displaying real dinosaur footprints, the largest collection of dinosaur footprints in the world. It is an amazing site! However there is not much protection of the site - you can get up so close to the footprints you can touch them, which isn't good for preserving them

  • 5/5 John R. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing to see footprints up the side of a wall!
