Maropeng is the cultural heart of this region, known as the Cradle of Humankind. You are plunged underground as you enter this gigantic artificial tumulus. Maropeng uses state-of-the-art museographic technology to take you on a journey into the past: its depths conceal a network of canals navigated in automated boats back to the origins of human history. The highly entertaining educational areas and original fossils presentation are then explored on foot.
