Cal Orck’o is a paleontological site in Sucre, Bolivia, known for dinosaur footprints. The site is a nearly vertical limestone wall, about 1.2 kilometers long and 80 meters high, containing over 5,000 individual footprints from several different dinosaur species, including sauropods, theropods, ornithopods, and ankylosaurs. These footprints date back roughly 68–66 million years, to the Cretaceous period. The wall’s current vertical position resulted from tectonic forces that lifted and tilted what was once a muddy lakebed into a cliff face. Today, the site is protected and displayed within Parque Cretácico, a museum and park that allows visitors to view the footprints and learn about the region’s dinosaur history. The best way to visit the site is by taking the 11 a.m. shuttle bus from central Sucre, this tour provides access not only to the Dinosaur Park but also to the limestone pit, where you can get up close to the actual footprints.

Be sure to bring sunscreen and sturdy shoes. It's windy on the mountain, but with UV 11 sun exposure, you can easily get sunburned. It's a good idea to get used to the air to avoid too much breathing difficulty.

The path up is about 200 meters long and leads over rocky, awkward steps, and is quite strenuous. It's recommended only to attempt the hike if you're already somewhat accustomed to the altitude and can breathe well. But it's definitely worth it for the incredible view.

If you're visiting Sucre, don't miss this museum! It offers a fascinating perspective on the origins of local riches and the working of gold, silver, and precious stones. The tour, available in Spanish, English, and French, lasts approximately 45 minutes and costs 30 Bs. One of the most astonishing aspects is the opportunity to touch imposing precious stones weighing several dozen kilos. A unique experience not to be missed! A shop at the end of the tour allows you to take home beautiful souvenirs of the country. The jewelry is made by the museum owner herself. Opening hours: 9:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.–6:30 p.m.

Rather than taking the paved bridge, take this old wooden bridge. The slope is a bit steep coming from Potosi, and the path is damaged, but it's easily accessible by bike. The bridge spans the Rio Pilcomayo in the most elegant way. The wooden floor rests on a metal structure supported by long cables. It's possible to climb to the top of the towers via a staircase on the left bank. Be careful, if you're afraid of heights, don't attempt to climb.
