On this day trip from Mérida, we'll visit the Meteorite Museum and the Jurassic Trail - a fantastic activity for the whole family!
Description
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Mérida and head to the coastal town of Progreso. Here, we'll travel back in time to 66 million years ago, when dinosaurs roamed our earth.
Our first stop will be the Meteorite Museum, where we'll explore 8 rooms providing insight into the asteroid that fell in this region, creating the Chicxulub crater, which is more than 180 kilometers (111 miles) in diameter and is classified as the largest in the world.
This meteorite caused the extinction of numerous species on Earth. You will see fossils, recreations of dinosaurs, and virtual reality digital exhibits. There is also a lookout point offering views of the Caribbean Sea and a cenote.
Afterwards, we'll visit the Jurassic Trail, a theme park situated in the port of Chicxulub, where we will see numerous life-size dinosaur recreations, including Velociraptors, Bachiosaurus, Triceratops, Dakotaraptor, and T-Rex.
Finally, we'll return to your hotel in Mérida, concluding the tour after 4 hours of activity.
