Las Bailarinas Recreational Park (Parque Recreacional Las Bailarinas) is a waterpark featuring extreme sports and overnight packages. It’s located near the town of Montenegro in Colombia’s UNESCO World Heritage listed Coffee Region.
Day Passes
We spent a Sunday at Las Bailarinas as a family. The cabins were fully booked so we decided to go for the day only. Reasonably priced day passes are available with or without lunch. Click here for the most up-to-date prices.
Nature Trail
Instead of going directly to the pool over the suspension bridge like the majority of visitors, we decided to take the nature trail, which is located right at the park entrance. The trail takes visitors through a forest past several fruit trees and over a couple of short bridges.
At one point, the trail splits into a path with tunnels and another without tunnels. We went to the tunnels.
One tunnel is literally up a waterfall with quite a strong blast of water coming at you. Another tunnel is without water.
After the tunnels, the trail takes you past a climbing wall (included in the price of admission) and up to the waterpark.
Waterpark
The waterpark features two large pools, one a bit deeper than the other, and some waterslides. Nothing spectacular.
Lunch
We were able to choose from a few different dishes for lunch when purchasing our day passes. There’s fish, chicken, beef, and pork, all served with rice, salad, soup, potato, and a patacón. The food was decent and you can choose a specific time for your lunch to be ready.
Extreme Sports
In addition to the trail and pools, there are extreme sports and a spa at an extra cost. Extreme sports include bungee jumping, a pendulum swing, a 360° swing, and Tibetan bridge.
Conclusion
Overall, we would have preferred to spend a day elsewhere. It was overcrowded and nearly impossible to find a table at the pools and the pools weren’t the cleanest I’ve seen. The trail was nice but nothing to write home about, and we didn’t have interest in any of the extreme sports. There are much better places in the Coffee Region to enjoy as a family.
