The Las Chinas River Valley and its impressive fossil record has been studied for more than 20 years by different teams of paleontologists, their discoveries have made it the most important paleontological site in Chile and key to understanding the end of the dinosaur era.
The excursion takes us to the interior of the Las Chinas Valley, the heart of the paleontological findings, a remote and difficult to access place, but with unique nature and landscapes. This sector and its sedimentary rock formations are an uninterrupted record of the last 20 million years of the dinosaur era and the first 3 million years of the mammal era, which represents an open book to understand what our planet was like 80 million years ago. In this adventure we will follow in the footsteps of paleontologists and explore in our all-terrain vehicles one of the least visited places of Estancia Cerro Guido.
