One of the largest spaces for regional transformation in Colombia, Hacienda Nápoles emerged after a difficult period in the country’s history. Originally built as the luxurious estate of Pablo Escobar in the 1980s, it was once a symbol of excess, featuring exotic animals, private airstrips, and lavish entertainment spaces.
After its abandonment in the 1990s, the property was taken over by the government and gradually transformed into a place of renewal and positive change. Today, it has become an environment dedicated to species conservation and a major tourist attraction, known for its unique population of free-roaming hippos, descendants of those originally brought to the estate. It stands as a symbol of resilience and transformation, turning a troubled past into a space for education, environmental awareness, and family-friendly recreation.
Now a key development hub for the region, it offers a proposal centred on environmental, cultural, and educational content, along with entertainment for all ages.
Explore diverse zones including the African Savannah, Amazon Safari, Victoria Waterfalls, Isla de los Monos, aviary, serpentarium, butterfly garden, and museums such as the African Museum and Memory Museum.
