Salitre Magico, Amusement park in Bogotá, Colombia.

Salitre Mágico is an amusement park beside Simón Bolívar Metropolitan Park in Bogotá, at 68th Avenue and 63rd Street. Its paved, multi-level grounds hold 39 mechanical rides, including the white Drakko roller coaster, which reaches 100 km/h, and the Rueda Capital 360 observation wheel. A wide gray fabric canopy with yellow trim shades the entrance area, and white tensile roofs cover buildings with orange and green walls.

The site opened in 1973 under a different name and served for decades as a public leisure facility in Bogotá. It closed in the late nineties for a complete rebuild, reopening in 2000 with new equipment and layout.

Since 2021 the park has hosted the Festival del Terror on weekends from September to early November, with haunted houses such as Castillo del Terror, Freaky Clowns and Horror House, recommended for visitors over 14. Rides are grouped as high-impact, family and children's, and children's rides are reserved for kids up to 12.

The grounds open daily and offer a large parking lot plus access to lockers and restrooms near the main pathways. Weekends bring longer queues at popular rides, so an early morning visit helps avoid the rush.

The park's Ferris wheel is the Rueda Capital 360, also called Rueda Millenium, with 40 four-person baskets reaching 40 metres. It was added during the 1999–2000 remodeling. The 2022 Dua Lipa concert in the parking lot drew about 26,000 spectators.
