Things to Know Before You Go

Before visiting, it’s good to check the park’s entry requirements and pricing, as fees may vary depending on the day and your affiliation with Comfamiliar Risaralda. The park is family-friendly, with designated play areas for children and shaded rest areas for relaxation. Since it’s a large park with many attractions, wearing comfortable clothing and walking shoes is recommended. Bringing sunscreen, swimwear, and extra clothes will enhance your visit, especially if you plan to enjoy the pools and water attractions.

 

How to Get There

Parque Consotá is located about 15 km from Pereira’s city center, making it a convenient day trip destination. The park can be reached by car, taxi, or public transportation. If driving, ample parking is available on-site. Public buses heading toward Cerritos also stop near the park, making it accessible for those without a vehicle. Alternatively, ride-sharing apps are a convenient way to reach the park quickly and affordably.

 

When to Get There

The park is open year-round, but the best time to visit is on weekdays when it’s less crowded. Weekends and holidays tend to attract large crowds, especially families looking to enjoy the pools and recreational areas. Arriving early in the morning allows you to make the most of the park’s attractions before the midday rush. The climate in Pereira is warm and pleasant most of the year, but visiting during the dry season (December to March) ensures the best outdoor experience.
