-MEDELLIN Erotic Vacations-

The Hacienda Napoles is a rural property located in the Colombian town of Antioquia. It is located in the Magdalena River Valley and recognized as a symbol of the success of the Medellín Cartel and, specifically, its owner Pablo Escobar, one of the founders of the cartel. The estate included a Spanish colonial house, a sculpture park, and a complete zoo that included many kinds of animals from different continents such as antelope, elephants, exotic birds, giraffes, hippopotamuses, ostriches, and ponies. The ranch also boasted an extensive collection of old and luxury cars and bikes, a private airport, a bullring, and even a kart-racing track. Mounted on the hacienda's entrance gate is a replica of the Piper PA-18 Super Cub airplane, which transported Escobar's first shipment of cocaine to the United States. After Escobar was shot and killed by Colombian police in 1993, his family entered a legal struggle with the Colombian government over the property. The government prevailed, and the neglected property is now managed by the Municipality of Puerto Triunfo. The cost of maintenance for the zoo and the animals were too expensive for the government, so it was decided that most of the animals would be donated to Colombian and international zoos. After the disappearance of the cartel, the hacienda that covered nearly 3,000 hectares, was transformed into a theme park with various animal species. There are also attractions like a fictional simulation of a Jurassic Park, a Coliseum, a portentous house, ruins of a car collection, and a runway of airplanes. However, neither the zoo nor the Jurassic Park has been a significant tourist attraction.
