The park was designed to preserve the architectural heritage of Antioquian towns that are disappearing due to urban development.
It is managed by Comfama, one of Colombia's largest family compensation funds, which subsidizes access for its members.
The park's layout specifically replicates the 'pueblo' aesthetic, featuring a replica parish church as the main architectural anchor.
It features 'La Granja,' an interactive educational farm area where visitors can learn about local agricultural practices.
Tutucán is a recreative park designed to simulate a traditional Antioquian village, located in the municipality of Rionegro. Operated by the Comfama family compensation fund, the park features replica architecture including a central plaza, a church, and traditional colorful houses. Visitors can participate in recreational activities, interact with farm animals, and explore spaces designed to reflect the culture of the department of Antioquia. The park serves as a community-oriented space focused on leisure, nature walks, and family entertainment. It functions as an open-air museum of regional heritage, preserving historical aesthetic elements of 20th-century Colombian towns. The facility includes various event halls, swimming pools, and sports courts to supplement its thematic village experience. Its design emphasizes pedestrian-friendly paths that mimic the layout of a colonial town center.
