The dinosaur, from the Abelisaurid family, would have left the track some 80 million years ago, said the local paleontologist who found it, Omar Medina.
He made the find in southeast Bolivia, a hotbed of dinosaur fossils.
"It's one of the largest prints ever found" in the South American country, he told AFP.
He estimated the dinosaur that left it, a carnivorous biped, would have been about 15 meters tall.
