Among dinosaurs in the Soria Highlands
- Position
- Villar del Río
The region of Tierras Altas de Soria was inhabited by dinosaurs 140 million years ago and from that period a large number of testimonies have survived to the present day in the form of fossilized footprints, called ichnites. In the Paleontological Classroom of Villar del Río you have access to a first contact prior to the experience of visiting the sites. The tour of the fifteen spaces in which the footprints are visible is enlivened by life-size replicas of dinosaurs.
The Cretaceous Adventure Park located in the town of San Pedro Manrique offers themed activities and games for all audiences around the traces that remain of the fauna of that period.
