Ruta Provincial 1 Km. 1,8 – Colastiné – Phone: (0342) 459-2714

This is a dino-themed amusement park, fully equipped with lights, sound and vegetation, where life-size dinosaur fiberglass models stand and move, since some of them have already been robotized.

These models represent all the dinosaurs that have ever lived in our universe.

An educational tour ends in a small theater, where a documentary about the beginning of the universe and the lives of dinosaurs is played.

The site is very well provisioned with public baths, a bar, and a courtyard with life-sized models to take pictures.

The park also offers a campsite equipped with all the facilities, an artificial lake and a playground. This ride can be an excellent educational experience for both children and adults. Colonia Pujato dino-themed amusement park’s aim is to raise awareness about caring for the environment and nature.

You can also watch over 150 species of birds among the native trees and plants along the coast. Horseback riding on ponies to visit the surroundings seems an ideal alternative to finish the weekend.

This themed park is adjacent to the Colastiné River, another ideal spot for fishing lovers.
