Just outside of Sucre is the largest collection of dinosaur tracks in the world. What was once the flat shore of a lake has been pushed up over time by volcanic activity until the fossilised footprints stood vertically as a wall, only to be uncovered as part of a concrete quarry. We had a great time learning about the different tracks and the dinosaurs that created them, how mountains are formed by movement in tectonic plates, and studying the life-size replicas of the dinosaurs themselves.
The same day we also ended up in the Bolivian Museum of Independance, which sparked several conversations on colonialism and sovereignty, leadership, battle tactics, and facial hair fashion through history.
Who says the boys are missing out on school?
