Torotoro National Park

Torotoro National Park is a protected area in the Potosí Department of southern Bolivia, established in 1989 to preserve a distinctive semi-arid mountain landscape in the eastern cordilleras of the Andes. The park covers approximately 165 square kilometers at elevations between 2000 and 3500 meters above sea level, featuring dramatic canyon systems that plunge up to 300 meters deep. The region is notable for its karst topography, with caves, sinkholes, and eroded limestone formations that reveal Paleozoic and Cretaceous geological deposits. What sets Torotoro apart from other Andean protected areas is its extraordinary paleontological significance, with thousands of dinosaur footprints and fossilized bone fragments discovered within its boundaries representing theropods and sauropods from the Cretaceous period, roughly 120 million years ago. The park also encompasses the small town of Torotoro, founded approximately 250 years ago by Quechua indigenous people and Spanish settlers, adding cultural depth to the natural landscape.

Distance methodology

Geographic measurements, not driving distances

How nearby park distances are calculated

Distances use park boundaries whenever the available geometry allows it. When one or both boundaries are missing, the mapped park locations provide a clearly labelled estimate. Every value represents straight-line geographic separation and does not use roads or routing.

Boundary distance

Calculated between the nearest points of both park boundaries.

Location-to-boundary estimate

Estimated from one mapped park location to the nearest boundary of the other park.

Mapped-location estimate

Estimated between the mapped locations of both parks.
