1-day Hacienda Nápoles itinerary: the park + Colombian Santorini

Morning (8:00-12:00)

Buy your pass in advance (see Hacienda Nápoles prices 2026) and be at the ticket office at 8:00 (the park opens at 8:30).

Midday (12:00-16:00)

Have lunch at the Cataratas food court or Río Salvaje and spend the afternoon at Aventura Acuática (Aquatic Adventure, closes around 4:00 p.m.). If time allows, Amazon Safari and the African Museum.

Evening

Head to La Aldea, the Colombian Santorini, for sunset and dinner there or at one of the restaurants in Doradal. To sleep steps from the park, Hotel Las Colinas and Hotel El Lago Azul face the entrance; Hotel Arbóreo is Doradal's top-rated.
