Colombia 2019 – Day 02

Woke up late and had a delicious Colombian breakfast. Arepas with shredded beef and fresh papaya.

The plan for the day was to go to the Parque del Café.

The park is 20 km from Circacia or about 35 min drive toward Montenegro. Once you get there is small free parking on the facility. During high season you will have to park in the nearby paid parking lots.

There are many shops outside the park for other souvenirs.

Don’t forget the sunblock since you will be walking from ride to ride under the hot sun.

We purchased the Pasaporte Multiple ($63,000 pesos – $20 US) which includes unlimited rides to most attractions, it is limited to one ride on some of the attractions. Once you enter the park there is a fantastic view of the park and the Colombian landscape.

From the scenic view point, you can take the cable car to the main plaza. Here you can find more shops and food spots. The snacks like ice cream, water sodas are reasonably priced for a park.

We started the day with one of their roller coasters.

Since today is a regular weekday there was barely any line at any of the attractions. We got to go multiple times back to back.

100 cm is a good height for the little ones since they will be able to ride most things with an adult.

We got to ride the go-carts, but are not as fun since the park controls/limits the speed remotely.

The new Yipee ride was the favorite of the group.

The adults took turns watching over the kids to go on the Krater. This will take you straight up and drop you down in a second.

We got to enjoy other more gentle rides with the kids including the bumper boats.

You will get wet even if you don’t go under the water fountains shooting water in the center and side of the area.

The kids were tired by this point. We spent six hours from ride to ride and snacking along the way.

Heading back from the park we got caught in a crazy strong rain once we were in Armenia. Once things calmed down a bit we got some well-deserved food. We had some Colombian burgers and Hotdogs with all the toppings and salsas.
