A sad example neglect
Mar 2020 • Couples
Poorly maintained by any standards.
Neglected animals on display incl. around 30 tortoises in a pen with zero vegetation and limited water.
Trash littered liberally.
All park benches in a state if disrepair and unsable.
Felt sorry for the half feathered parrot which greats you in entry.
Could be something special in this otherwise awful town but it is a fail i'm afraid...

What a shame... qué pena...
Mar 2016 • Family
The parc used to be indeed a small piece of jungle at the doors of the chaotic San Gil. Some trees are still beautiful. However, mismanagement of the direction of the parc destroyed it: they put electric cables in the trees for a night show, music everywhere, a swimming pool that does not belong to such a place (it was a parc, not a "balneario”). All this can be reversed. However, what will still be destroyed is the once lovely beach, in front of which an apartment house of dubious taste and a motel-looking attraction parc with bad and very loud music have been built.. What a shame.

Beautiful and Tranquil
Nov 2019
The park is quite large with many stoned pathways to stroll and explore the vegetation. With macaws, squirrels, rabbits and parrots to interact with along the way, it becomes a very unique experience. There is also a large swimming pool to dip into to cool off from the warm temperatures and restaurants and bar to refresh and enjoy a meal or snack.

Good photo opps
Jun 2019
PROS
*This isn’t your average park. There are colorful animals and plants, charming bridges and massive trees.
*Good place to take photos.
*The 6.000 admission is pretty cheap.

CONS
*I enjoyed the place because I like photography. If I wasn’t there to take pictures, I might be kind of bored.

Not great, but a nice getaway from the city
Apr 2019 • Couples
We’d expected a large park with many trees with barba de viejo. Were a bit disappointed in that aspect. But it’s a nice park to get away from the busier city for an hour or two. If you like smaller wildlife (birds, butterflies, lizards, squirrels), take your camera w you.

Nice to get away from the noise of the city
Mar 2019 • Couples
Lovely little park where it’s a bit more peaceful and tranquil than the city. Nice to get away for an hour or so.

There are red squirrels, iguanas and a whole host of other bird species including the odd hummingbird.

The bearded trees are very cool. Just a nice place to go and hang out for a bit.

Pleasant place to spend the afternoon
Jan 2019 • Couples
Visited this park in the afternoon as we arrived in San Gil at around 2pm. It’s about 10 minutes stroll from the central plaza and cost 6000 COP to enter & an additional 4000 COP to enter if you want to take a dip in one of the swimming pools. The park itself is attractive, with interesting flora including large trees dripping with moss. The paths lead you round a variety of different sections, by a large river, through areas of different plants and across bridges over small streams. There is also a few small cafe restaurants which offered a good spot for me to have a drink and an ice cream at a good price, whilst my partner went for a dip in the swimming pool. Worth visiting if you want more tranquility than the town has to offer for a couple of hours

Nice stop after trip
Jan 2019 • Family
Traveling to San Gil or Chicamocha Canyon from Bogota by car or bus could be tired; a short walk surrounded by trees and listening a short introduction of Guane indigene culture is a good idea.

Interesting vegetation
Sep 2017 • Solo
Easily accessabile, only 10 minutes away from the main Plaza. This is a Parque with different trees and flowers typical from Colombia. I went on my own and spent a good 2 hours roaming around and just sitting by the river. Went on a Monday and it was very peaceful.
