New Members PrehistoricPerson Posted September 9 New Members Share Posted September 9 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.

Fossildude19 Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I think fossil hunting in those areas may be illegal. South America has some strict laws about this.

jpc Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 yes, personal collecting in both Argentina and Chile (and Uruguay and Peru) is against the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members PrehistoricPerson Posted September 9 Author New Members Share Posted September 9 @Fossildude19@jpc I’m more interested in just seeing active dig sites and fossils or something along those lines, not actually taking them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Pretty sure Fossildude is correct. No collecting allowed, and risking fines and jail time if caught bringing fossils out of the country. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
