Sataphlia State Reserve, Protected area in Tsqaltubo, Georgia
Sataphlia State Reserve spans 330 hectares of mountainous terrain covered with ancient Colchian forests containing beech, chestnut, and hornbeam trees.
The reserve, established in 1935, became a significant site after the discovery of over 200 dinosaur footprints preserved in limestone deposits.
The reserve functions as a natural laboratory where scientists conduct research on geological, paleontological, speleological, zoological, and botanical specimens.
The reserve maintains a visitor center in Banoja village offering guided tours in Georgian, English, and Russian languages included in the entrance fee.
The area features several karst caves and houses a biospeleological museum displaying specimens of local flora, fauna, and geological formations.
