MUSEO DE GEOCIENCIAS

Inaugurated in 1985, the Geoscience Museum is located in front of Plaza 19 de Abril. It exhibits paleontological and geological pieces found in the north of the country: fossils, remains of dinosaurs dating back more than 150 million years, precious and semi-precious stones, giant mollusks from the Jurassic period, replicas of animals and skeletons... A must-see is the skull of a giant prehistoric sloth that weighed almost 1,500 kg. The exhibition itself may seem old-fashioned, but its content is extremely fascinating.
