Discover Vallecillo, home to some of the best-preserved marine fossils on the planet, in an experience that combines science, history, and the living culture of northeastern Mexico.

This guided tour starts from Monterrey and takes you to the heart of a region internationally recognised for its paleontological wealth. You'll get to know the fossil workshop of Professor Margarito, a key figure in the preservation and dissemination of these findings, where you'll learn how fossils millions of years old are identified, prepared, and protected.

The experience continues in an active quarry, where you'll observe first-hand the traditional work of stone and fossils, understanding the relationship between the landscape, geology, and daily life in the region. You'll also visit a stone sales point for construction, which is essential for the local economy.

The tour includes a visit to the municipality of Vallecillo with a talk with local authorities, which provides historical and social context, followed by a traditional meal in Sabinas to enjoy the regional cuisine. Depending on availability, you'll get access to a personal collection of fossils, a rare opportunity for travellers.

Perfect for natural history and geology enthusiasts, and for those seeking authentic experiences off the beaten track.
