Jaime Duque, Theme park in Tocancipá, Colombia

The 100-hectare park features replicas of global monuments including the Taj Mahal, combined with zoological areas housing 700 animals of 100 different species.

Founded in 1983 by Jaime Duque Grisales, a former Avianca airline pilot who dedicated the final part of his life to developing this educational space.

The 165-meter-long Cyclorama presents detailed murals depicting crucial moments of Colombian independence, from the 1781 Revolution through the 1819 battles.

Located 37 kilometers from Bogotá's Zona Rosa, the park operates Wednesday through Friday from 9:00 to 17:00 and weekends from 10:00 to 18:30.

The Wakatá Biopark section maintains a specialized conservation program for 450 animals, including native South American species like capybaras and Andean condors.
