Overview

Dinosaur footprints in the Majes Valley

Among the greatest attractions of the Majes Valley, without a doubt, are the dinosaur footprints, a unique paleontological site in Peru. This place houses impressive fossils more than 100 million years old, which makes it a direct window to the prehistoric past.

Location and value of the site

These footprints are located on the slopes of the mountains, very close to the city of Aplao, in the Arequipa region. For this reason, they have a great tourist and scientific value. For this reason, they attract not only curious travelers, but also students and specialists from different parts of the country.

A journey into Earth’s past

The footprints belong to different species of dinosaurs and have been surprisingly preserved in the rock formations. Thanks to this, visitors can observe them closely and appreciate details that reveal what life was like in those times.

Exploring this site is, without a doubt, like stepping back millions of years. At every step, one can imagine the passage of these giants over the earth and, in addition, feel a deep connection with the natural history of the planet.
