Dinosaur tracks on a vertical wall (which was actually a beach 65 million years ago) near Sucre. There are over 6,000 tracks from about 150 different dinosaur species. Discovered by accident - there was a cement operation in this location, but once the content of the soil was deemed useless for cement-making, they just left this hillside half dug out. Then over time, rain and erosion revealed the tracks. The wall is unstable, so they are applying to UNESCO to recognize it as a World Heritage Site and finance its preservation in order to prevent more landslides that would erase them (the most recent landslide was in February).
