JAIME DUQUE PARK

Jaime Duque was born in Villamaría – Caldas, on June 11,

1917. His primary and secondary studies were completed
in Villamaría and Manizales. His professional studies in
aerodynamics, civil aviator and flight instructor pilot, were
carried out in the United States at Purdue University in
Lafayette - Indiana.
Jaime Duque was a civil aviator during the era of heroic
aviation, when daily pilots risked their lives crossing the
high mountain ranges in small planes built with cloth and
wood. In 1944 after completing his studies, he returned to
Colombia.
He became the first Colombian pilot to occupy the
General Headquarters of Pilots of Avianca, replacing
German pilots and American who since 1919 had held
that position.
He inaugurated night flights and in 1949, he became the first Colombian aviator to cross the oceans,
to inaugurate and establish the air routes to the main cities of Europe and North America such as
New York, Madrid, Rome, Paris, among others. The inaugural flight Bogotá – Rome lasted 32 hours.

Since he was a child, in addition to aviation, one of his dreams was to dedicate himself to community
service. In 1,940 of his salary as a co-pilot, he began his social work by donating books, supplies and
pensions to young people with limited resources. In 1952, after completing 11,000 flight hours, he
retired from aviation and with savings and bank loans he organized a prosperous company building
more than 300 houses and buildings. Its profits were the basis for social work and the creation of
Parque Jaime Duque.
Parque Jaime Duque opened its doors to the public on February 27, 1983. Located on the outskirts of
Bogotá, in the municipality of Tocancipa, it is a unique place considered by Discovery Travel &
Living as one of the best parks in Latin America. It is a complex of 200 hectares, where a great
