The Theme Park On Drug Lord Pablo Escobar's Estate

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 NĂ¡poles theme park is situated on grounds that once belonged to Colombia's most famous drug lord: Pablo Escobar.

Hacienda Napoles was one of Pablo Escobar's lavish mansion of which have witnessed how he was as a drug lord. Only billionaires can own a zoo and Pablo was one of them.
