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. A monorail runs through the park to help get guests from one area to another. The monorail has been recently upgraded as a panoramic train.
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.
The park first opened on February 27, 1983 and was founded by Jaime Duque Grisales (1917 - 2007), a personality of Colombian civil aviation and the first Colombian head of the Avianca airline pilots.[1] He wanted to create a cultural and recreational space for the whole family, with the aim of generating profits to help institutions serving families.
