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.
