Visit the Palaeontological Centre of Enciso, in the Cidaco’s Valley (La Rioja, Spain). This is a trip through the field of Palaeontology where you will learn how a palaeontologist works and how the main living beings that inhabited La Rioja in the past were.
Find out how palaeontologists study the fossils and the rock strata that contain those fossils.
Discover how the ancient organisms that lived in La Rioja 120 millions of years ago, in the Mesozoic, were like. And also in what way were they different from other more recent faunas.
This audio guide will allow you to visit the interpretative equipment of the Palaeontological Centre of Enciso autonomously, and at the same time it will supply you with complementary information to that contained on the exhibition panels.
