Jaime Duque Park is a theme park that blends culture, nature, and entertainment in a family-friendly environment. It offers a variety of educational, recreational, and cultural attractions, including architectural replicas, museums, and natural spaces. Since its inception, the Jaime Duque Park Foundation, which owns the park, has worked with a strong social, environmental, and cultural commitment. 

The park was developed and inaugurated on February 27, 1983, by Jaime Duque Grisales, a prominent figure in Colombian civil aviation and the first national chief pilot of Avianca Airlines. He wanted to create a cultural and recreational space for the whole family, with the aim of generating profits to support non-profit organizations dedicated to serving the elderly, adults, and children.

The park, which covers 200 hectares, features a relief map of Colombia with observation walkways 12 meters high and is complemented by an aviary. There is also a scale map of the Caribbean Sea, inside which is a replica of the destroyer Córdoba, a ship that fought in World War II and was donated by the Colombian Navy. Likewise, there is a replica of the Brigantine Independiente of Admiral Padilla, the flagship of the Colombian Navy during the War of Independence. 

Finally, and perhaps the most striking feature of the park, along with the Monument to God, the Monument to Nationality, and the Museum of Man, is the scale reproduction of the Taj Mahal, considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World for its architectural beauty and the semi-precious stones that adorn its structure. The Jaime Duque Park serves as a backdrop for ceramic reproductions of great works of world art and as the venue for the Colombian Independence Cyclorama. A mural 165 meters long and 7 meters high depicts the entire independence process, from the Revolt of the Comuneros and the Cry of Independence to the Battles of Vargas Swamp and Boyacá Bridge in 1819.

Jaime Duque Park has been recognized as one of the best parks in Latin America by the Discovery Travel & Living television channel.
