Vale dos Dinossauros

No admittion fee. There were definitely real dinosaur tracks in a couple different layers of what was obviously mud but became stone. The mud was pushed up around the tracks in silted mud that later dry cracked and became petrified. Not just a big hammer and chisel job I was expecting to find when I went there. It's worth taking a look if you're in the area. Also there were some friendly monkeys in the wild that wanted to be fed. (Not allowed, but we did anyway) We had a picnic in one of the little mini pavilions there.

I found this place to be in a pitiful condition. Workers poorly trained, and the place was poorly maintained. The only redeeming point was the friendliness of the old arqueoligist.

Quiet place.

Historic place but few things to do. Exotic but do not worth a long trip to visit
