The park is located on land that formerly hosted a different recreational area, integrated into the city's largest green lung.
The park's iconic 'Castillo del Terror' is frequently cited by locals as one of the oldest and most established walk-through haunted attractions in the country.
The site hosts specific 'Noches de Terror' events during the Halloween season, which significantly alter the park's operational theme.
It contains a dedicated zone for younger visitors called 'Baby Zone' to separate low-impact rides from the high-thrill areas.
Salitre Mágico is Bogotá's primary amusement park, situated within the larger Simón Bolívar Metropolitan Park complex. The park features a diverse collection of over 30 attractions, ranging from high-intensity thrill rides to gentler options for younger children. Notable rides include the 'Apocalipsis,' a looping coaster, and the 'Castillo del Terror,' a long-standing haunted house attraction. The park is divided into distinct zones, often segmented by the intensity level of the rides. It serves as a central hub for urban entertainment in the Colombian capital. The facility is managed by the Corporación Interamericana de Entretenimiento.
The elevated observation deck of the Ferris wheel provides a panoramic view of the entire park and the surrounding Bogotá skyline.
Purchase a ride pass that covers multiple attractions rather than individual tickets to save on total costs.
Visit during the week to significantly reduce wait times for the popular 'Apocalipsis' and 'Super Shot' rides.
Carry a light, water-resistant jacket, as Bogotá's weather can shift rapidly from sun to rain, potentially pausing outdoor rides.
Avoid visiting on public holidays if you dislike dense crowds and long wait times for popular roller coasters.
The park typically operates on a reduced schedule during off-peak weeks and may close on select weekdays during low season; always verify current week-to-week operation.
Comfortable, athletic clothing and secure footwear are required for safety on rides; loose items must be stored in provided lockers.
