In one corner of the 3,700-acre park, a bright pink hippo statue poses on a plinth; in another, dinosaurs are frozen in time. Elsewhere, a giant octopus emerges from a swimming pool with waterslides wrapped up in its tentacles.
As far as theme parks go, there isn't really anything too surprising or out of the ordinary going on here. Yet this is no ordinary tourist attraction. The Hacienda Nรกpoles theme park is situated on grounds that once belonged to Colombia's most famous drug lord: Pablo Escobar.
