}}Jaime Duque Park is a family-oriented amusement park located in the Tocancipá municipality of the Metropolitan Area of Bogotá, Colombia. The park contains the Jaime Duque Zoo, the Museum of Mankind, as well as replicas of several major locations and buildings from around the world.[1] A monorail runs through the park to help get guests from one area to another.[2]

The park also has an outdoor stage for live performances. Here, the park has hosted performances by musicians such as Kylie Minogue, Guns N' Roses, Jamiroquai, The Killers, David Guetta, Paulina Rubio and Evanescence.

History

The park first opened on February 27, 1983 and was founded by Jaime Duque Grisales, a personality of Colombian civil aviation and the first head of the Avianca airline pilots.[3] He wanted to create a cultural and recreational space for the whole family, with the aim of generating profits to help institutions serving families.

Attractions

ARC Córdoba, a ship that was used during World War II,[1] and an Avianca DC6 aircraft are on display.

Maps and replicas

The park contains replicas of the Taj Mahal in India, as well as replicas of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, including the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Temple of Artemis, and the Pyramids. It also has giant figures, including a large hand holding a globe, which is meant to represent the hand of God.

There is a relief map of Colombia on a scale of 1:25000, located near the aviary. There is also a map of the Caribbean Sea.

Zoo and aviary

The park's zoo contains several birds and monkeys as well as species native to South America, such as the capybara.[4]
