Hacienda Nápoles, Theme park and zoo in Puerto Triunfo, Colombia

Hacienda Nápoles is a theme park and zoo on the grounds of Pablo Escobar's former estate in Puerto Triunfo, Antioquia, about 20 km² beside Highway 60 near Doradal. Its entrance gate carries the name "NAPOLES" and "HACIENDA" and, mounted above the crossbeam, a replica of the Piper PA-18 Super Cub with tail number HK-617-P. Inside are a water park, a guided safari, aquariums, a replica of the Cueva de los Guácharos caves, dinosaur statues and a lake holding hippos.

Pablo Escobar and his cousin Gustavo Gaviria assembled the estate in 1978 from several purchased properties, forming a holding of about 3,000 hectares with internal roads, pools, artificial lakes, a landing strip, heliports and hangars. After Justice Minister Rodrigo Lara Bonilla was murdered in 1984, the Escobar family took refuge in Panama and the hacienda fell partly into neglect. Seized through extinction-of-domain proceedings confirmed in 2004, its central core passed to the municipality of Puerto Triunfo in December 2005.

The site represents Colombia's complex relationship with its recent past, transforming from a symbol of narcotics wealth and excess into a family-oriented attraction that generates employment for the local community while sparking ongoing debates about how to interpret this controversial legacy.

The park typically operates from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM with admission fees varying by season and selected activities, and visitors should check the official website for current pricing and confirm transportation arrangements since the location requires considerable travel from nearby cities.

The estate houses a feral population of over 100 hippopotamuses descended from Escobar's original four animals, creating an invasive species problem that has led to environmental debates about sterilization, relocation, or population control measures to protect native ecosystems in the Magdalena River basin.
