Solar and water attractions

This magnificent urban park, located in the northern quarter of the city, has nine mind-boggling attractions where children, teenagers, and adults alike will be able to learn more about the universe and the solar system. Additional to these “out-of-this-world” attractions, visitors will be able to learn about different aspects related to day-to-day life such as the use of water, energy, and telecommunications.

This is the perfect park for a family day out, where everyone can partake in a plethora of activities, all free of charge.

Earth, wind, and sky attractions

Parque de los Deseos

Start your journey around this out-of-this-world park by checking out the time in the huge solar clock, or seeing how your voice travels by using the acoustic shells.

Visitors can look at how the sun interacts with planets such as Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the Earth by using the Heliostat (specially designed mirrors) located in the park. At this same attraction, visitors can learn more about the different types of eclipses, which is when the moon blocks the sun. 

In the World of Winds visitors can find out how clean energy is produced, and by visiting the Muisca Observatory you can travel back in time of the Muisca indigenous tribe to discover more about their culture and traditions.

Certified tour guides are available for those visitors who want more information about the different attractions. You can find them at the park in their distinctive uniforms, and the services they provide are all free of charge.

Cultural life

Parque de los Deseos

In the Parque de los Deseos, children can not only learn more about astronomy, but they can also take a dip in the water fountains or make sandcastles in the sand pit to let off that extra energy.  Adult visitors can enjoy a movie, a conference, or any one of the different cultural activities that are scheduled in the main plaza.

An interesting neighborhood

The Municipal Planetarium, the Antioquia University, the Botanical Gardens, the Parque Norte, the Parque Explora and the Music House are all in the neighboring district of the Parque de los Deseos. This makes this unique neighborhood the ideal place for fun, learning, and relaxation. 

All of these places are of easy access, and visitors can get to them by hopping on the local Metro System and getting off at the University Metro Station.
