Cal Orck'o, Paleontological site near Sucre, Bolivia
The limestone wall extends 1200 meters in length and 80 meters in height, displaying over 12,000 dinosaur tracks across 465 distinct pathways.
Discovered in 1985 by cement factory workers, the site underwent extensive research from 1994 to 1998 by international paleontologists led by Christian Meyer.
The name originates from Quechua words q'al and urqu, translating to lime hill, reflecting the geological composition of this remarkable formation.
Visitors can access the site through Parque Cretacico, taking public bus routes 4 or H from Sucre's terminal, with guided tours available after midday.
The vertical wall contains tracks from 294 dinosaur species, including evidence of ankylosaurs previously thought nonexistent in South America.
