THE SECOND CRETACEOUS PARK IN BOLIVIA

Approximately 2,500 kilos of clay are being moulded to give life to one of the most feared species of predatory dinosaurs that existed on earth. The Carnotauros lived from the Inferior Jurásico to the Superior Cretácico Period approximately 65 million years ago.

This time the giant model of the Carnotauros (eight meters long and four and a half meters tall) will be for National Park Toro Toro, which thanks to the existence of a variety of prehistoric dinosaur tracks and other marine fossils, is becoming the second Cretaceous Park in Bolivia and a tourist destiny of paleontological importance.

Some of the different types of dinosaurs proposed for the cretaceous park are: Apatosaurus, Gallimimus, Avimimus, marine turtles and giganotosaurus, the biggest of them all which will measure about 35 meters in length.

Once constructed these models of prehistoric species will be located in seven different areas of the park where remains of dinosaur tracks and fossils have been identified. These areas include: the entrance to the cavern of Umajalanta, Races Pampas, the Wayllas hill, the stone bridge, the turtle cemetery and the vista point for Torotoro canyon.

THE SECRETS OF TIWANAKU


Pachakuti: The Return of Balance
DVD directed by Miguel Montaño

This DVD explores concepts such as complementariness, community values, spiritual animism, reciprocal economies, health, education and communitarian justice all important aspect of the Tiwanakun culture.

In order to better understand these concepts the viewer is presented with a comparison between Western and Andean cultures. The DVD illustrates the enormous differences between the two cultures and reveals a cruel truth: “that western philosophy has been gradually extinguishing to the Andean culture”.
During a ceremony on the 21 of January of 2006, in the Ceremonial Center of Tiwanaku, the Council of Amautas of Bolivia and Andean first nations requested that their ancestors enlighten Evo Morales Ayma, who had been recently elected President of Bolivia, enabling him to restore the values of indigenous cultures and govern for all Bolivians.

This DVD is available in our office for 25 b’s.
