Fossil hunting in Patagonia - recommendations

I’m planning a trip to Chile and Argentina and I’m very keen to try and fit in some dinosaur themed activities while I’m in Patagonia. Other than a couple museums I can’t find much from my research. Does anyone have any recommendations? I would especially like to see an active dig site or go fossil hunting.

I think fossil hunting in those areas may be illegal.

South America has some strict laws about this.

yes, personal collecting in both Argentina and Chile (and Uruguay and Peru) is against the law.

I’m more interested in just seeing active dig sites and fossils or something along those lines, not actually taking them

Pretty sure Fossildude is correct.  No collecting allowed, and risking fines and jail time if caught bringing fossils out of the country.

Your original statement, along with posting under FOSSIL HUNTING TRIPS did not directly state this.
You said you wanted to "go fossil hunting".

 

All said and done, we can make recommendations for museums, but not for any other type of excursions.  We do not promote any kind of fossil related businesses outside of Museums.

TOPIC IS NOW LOCKED.
