Yacimientos de la Sierra de Atapuerca --- near Burgos, Spain

Posted by on

Having trouble finding the official site for this UNESCO World Heritage site outside of Burgos, Spain. What I am reading on Tripadvisor is that there is not much in the way of English-speaking tour guides, so you better understand Spanish. Ouch.

Can anyone find their official site so we can contact them to see if indeed we can sign up for a tour in English?

And if anyone has been there, from what I am reading also, this is not necessarily a place to spend "all day". Thoughts?

TIA.

The official site: https://www.atapuerca.org/es/atapuerca/QueVisitar

It's only in Spanish so I assume the tours are as well, when you go this off the beaten path, for foreigners at least, one can't take English tours or even English for granted, especially in the rural parts of Spain 😉

I did some poking around and it looks like around 80% of the Museo de la Evolución Humana has English translations :)

Carlos, much obliged. We will still go, of course, since it is a UNESCO site, and at the very least enjoy the museum.....

With the website, when I put /en after the .org, (atapuerca.org/en) the site automatically switched to English even when I changed pages (rates, visit, hours, and even the reservation form). I used Crome browser, so it may just be a Google translation, but better than nothing,
