Atapuerca is a World Heritage site with its famous Paleolithic excavations, which can also be visited by prior arrangement. The Gran Dolina is famous, place where the Homo antecessor (probably H.erectus - experts are not yet sure whether it is a human species of its own) dates to > 850,000 a. A UK remnant was found in the Sima del Elefante that was even older and is estimated at > 1 million a. In the Sima de los Huessos (Bone Cave) 29 complete H.Heidelbergensis skeletons (>400000 a old) were found. (i.e. 80% of all fossil human finds) They are the ancestors of the Neanderthals (200000-40000 a), who in turn lived approx. 40000 a , replaced by H.sapiens (d.s. we), became extinct. To emphasize the importance of this site, it is the cradle of the European natives, here are the testimonies of the first people who immigrated from Africa and therefore they have also been rightly named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The skeleton finds can be seen in the Museo de la Evolución Humana in Burgos (located in the middle of the old town of Burgos and is a hot tip)

On the N-120 between Villafranca Montes de Oca and Burgos there is a fork on the right that leads (heading north-west on the BU-V-7012 road) to Atapuerca. In this municipality there is an archaeological site of primary importance, containing a large quantity of hominid bones dating back to over 400,000 years ago. For this reason the site has been included among the World Heritage sites. The archaeological park can be visited from Monday to Friday (from 9 to 17), Saturdays and public holidays (from 9 to 14)
