From Cochabamba to Torotoro

 A group of 4 of us went to Toro Toro National Park for 3-day trip. Torotoro National Park is a small national park in the Potosí department of Bolivia among the eastern mountain ranges of the South American Andes cordilleras. It is accessible from the city of Cochabamba. It is famous for Dinosaur bone fragments and more than 2,500 dinosaur footprints, of biped and quadruped dinosaurs, theropods and sauropods from the cretaceous period 120 million years ago.

We ubered to the Parada a ToroToro terminal, then got on a 3-hr bus to arrive Toro Toro town around noon. We first checked in the hostel, ate lunch, and then visited the National Park office to get 100b per person 4-day passes. The town is very small, and we could only check out some dinosaur footprints, at the river at the village entrance.

The town of Torotoro is easily explored on foot, but for the National Park you will need a guide. There are daily tours (both in the morning around 9 am and in the afternoon around 2 pm) departing from the guides' office. Before you book any tours in Torotoro, you have to pay 100Bs for a 4-day entry ticket to the Torotoro national park from the town’s little tourism office. All of the half-day tours, known as circuitos, cost 160b per group of 6, but some of them also incur additional fees (150Bs) for the cost of transport to and from the sights.
