Torotoro National Park
Bolivia · Altiplano · 2600 m
Description
Torotoro National Park (Parque Nacional Torotoro) protects a spectacular karst landscape of deep canyons, limestone caves, and striking rock formations in a remote part of the Bolivian Andes. The park is best known for its thousands of fossilized dinosaur footprints, considered among the most important track sites in South America. Highlights include the extensive Umajalanta Cave with its unique cave fauna, the Río Torotoro canyons reaching depths of up to 300 meters, scenic hiking trails, and natural swimming pools. The landscape is further enriched by marine fossils that reveal the region's ancient geological history. Thanks to its remote location, Torotoro National Park remains one of Bolivia's most remarkable and least-visited natural and paleontological treasures.
