Description
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Mérida and head for the coastal town of Progreso. Here, we'll travel back in time to 66 million years ago, to a time when dinosaurs roamed our earth!
Our first stop will be at the Meteorite Museum. At the museum, we'll visit 8 rooms that will give us plenty of insight into the asteroid that fell in this area all of those years ago, creating the Chicxulub crater - a crater which is more than 180 kilometres (111 miles) in diameter and is classified as the largest in the world!
This meteorite caused the extinction of numerous species on Earth. To see for yourself, you'll see fossils, recreations of dinosaurs and virtual reality digital exhibits. You can also go to the lookout point to enjoy the magnificent views of the Caribbean Sea and a cenote.
Después, visitaremos el Sendero Jurásico, un parque temático situado en el puerto de Chicxulub donde veremos numerosas especies de dinosaurios a tamaño real. Velociráptors, Bachiosaurus, Triceratops, Dakotaraptor o el T-Rex serán algunos de los ejemplares que podréis admirar.
