We will make a guided tour throughout the area where the 100 million years giant fossils were retrieved by carrying out fieldwork and excavations.
The Lago Barreales paleontological center (CEPALB) or “Dino Project” is located over the north bank of the Lago Barreales (Neuquén province). Thanks to scientific, educational, cultural and touristic activities a group of Scientifics has developed an attraction global center. This project is dependent on the Comahue National University and its main duties are to: study, retrieve, clean and classify the dinosaur’s fossils.
You can see in the field the standing fossil trees in the exactly same place where they were fossilized for over more than 90 million years ago.
Dino Project is a scientific investigation group of the National University of Comahue. Not only was a giant dinosaur found, but also the remains of an almost complete ecosystem dating from the Mesozoic era.
¨Las Capillas¨ are the several rock formations that the lake erosion produced on the soft marble. ¨Los Antiguos¨ offers whole range of tourist attractions in a magic place nestled in a fertile valley.
