Parque del Café (Coffee Park) is a theme park in the department of Quindío, 4 km south-west of the town of Montenegro and 11 km west of the departmental capital city Armenia. The park was founded by the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia (La Federación Nacional de Cafeteros de Colombia) and the Departmental Committee of Coffee Growers of Quindío (El Comité Departamental de Cafeteros del Quindío), and opened on 24 February 1995. During this tour, you will explore the whole park and it's importance to this Colombian Region. It consists of two main areas: by the main entrance are the buildings housing the museum and exhibitions detailing the history, culture, and process of growing and producing coffee in the region; and in the valley beyond is an amusement park with rides and shows. The two areas are linked by two gondola lifts and a chairlift. It is also possible to walk between the two areas via an ecological trail that passes through a plantation of many varieties of coffee bushes. As well as amusement rides, the park also offers other attractions such as animatronic shows, a global coffee garden, food stalls based on coffee, and traditional Colombian architecture. During this tour you will be guided throughout the park to enjoy the most important parts of it.
