Parque Consotá

Last updated on October 1, 2025.

Parque Consotá is a great recreational park for families. It’s not too far outside Pereira.

Visiting Parque Consotá

Parque Consotá is located in Galicia, a suburb west of Pereira. You can get there on the city’s bus lines. At the entrance to the park, you’ll find ticket windows to purchase your pass for the day. Admission is COP$36,800 for adults and COP$23,200 for kids age 3-12 (as of April 2025). Members of Comfamiliar Pereira get discounted entry. Check the official website for more info.

You shouldn’t have a problem grabbing a meal at the park as there are several restaurants. For example, Don Noé serves traditional Colombian specialties. Trapiche is a sugarcane processing area with sweets and guarapo (sugarcane juice) for sale.

Recreational activities at Parque Consotá include swimming pools, a spa, nature trails, fishing ponds, paddle boats, a small zoo, and sports fields. There’s also a hotel and cabins.

Pools and Water Park at Parque Consotá

The water park and pools are the most popular section for most visitors to Parque Consotá. The water park features a lazy river, wave pool, and waterslides. There’s also a kiddie pool for the little swimmers. A couple different pools are located at the park as well.

Noah’s Farm

Noah’s Farm (Granja de Noé) is another popular section, especially for kids. It’s a small zoo focused on farm animals and horticulture. The first section displays farm animals such as cows, chickens, goats, pigs, and horses.

Next is a beautifully arranged herb and vegetable garden. One section is outside and there’s a small area under a bamboo canopy with flowers and herbs. Each plant is clearly labeled.

My favorite part was the aquarium. It contains several exotic species of fish found in Colombia. Some are native to the Amazon region.

Pond at Parque Consotá

The pond is in a beautifully forested area and has a couple bridges over it. It’s possible to fish or rent paddle boats.

Replica of Old Pereira

The replica of old Pereira (Pereira Antigua) is another great feature of Parque Consotá. It shows how Pereira looked in the early 20th century. The path starts at a two-story finca (farmhouse). Upstairs are bedrooms complete with straw mats showing how people used to sleep.

Next is a small square leading to the main street through old Pereira. It’s complete with colorful homes and businesses. Windows are open allowing visitors to peek into the past.

The mayor’s office, a barber shop, general store, and coffee purchasing agent are all on display. It’s also possible to look into a replica home with antique furniture and household items.

The street opens to a plaza modeled after Parque El Lago. There’s a fountain in the center of the plaza and a small replica of the El Claret Church (Iglesia El Claret).

Indigenous Memory Trail

The Indigenous Memory Trail (Sendero de la Memoria Indígena) is a 30-minute guided walk through a bamboo forest. The guide stops at a few different replica villages where you’ll learn about the most important indigenous peoples of Colombia.

Some of the cultures you’ll learn about are the Muisca, Tairona, Tierradentro, and Quimbaya. Each village has a mural depicting important figures of the culture.

There’s also one haunting mural explaining the past, present, and future. The past shows the indigenous people caring for Mother Earth, while in the present we’re destroying the earth for money. The future shows a couple in gas masks with a mushroom cloud from a nuclear explosion.
