Reference excerpt

Jaime Duque Park is a family-oriented amusement park located in the Tocancipá municipality of the Metropolitan Area of Bogotá, Colombia. The park contains the Jaime Duque Zoo, the Museum of Mankind, as well as replicas of several major locations and buildings from around the world. A monorail runs through the park to help get guests from one area to another. The monorail has been recently upgraded as a panoramic train. The park also has an outdoor stage for live performances. Here, the park has hosted performances by musicians such as Kylie Minogue, Guns N' Roses, Jamiroquai, The Killers, David Guetta, Paulina Rubio and Evanescence.

History The park first opened on February 27, 1983 and was founded by Jaime Duque Grisales (1917 - 2007), a personality of Colombian civil aviation and the first Colombian head of the Avianca airline pilots. He wanted to create a cultural and recreational space for the whole family, with the aim of generating profits to help institutions serving families.

Attractions

Maps and replicas The park contains replicas of the Taj Mahal in India, as well as replicas of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It also has several monuments, including a large hand holding a globe, which is the emblem of the park, meant to represent the hand of God. Inside the replica of Taj Mahal, there are reproductions painted in ceramic of great works of world art and the Cyclorama of Colombian Independence (in Spanish: Ciclorama de la Independencia Colombiana), a 165-meter-long and 7-meter-high mural that represents the entire process of that country's independence since the Revolution of the Comuneros in 1781, the Cry of Independence and the Battles of the Vargas Swamp and the Boyacá Bridge in 1819. There is a relief map of Colombia on a scale of 1:25000, complemented with an aviary. There is also a map of the Caribbean Sea in which ARC Córdoba, a ship that was used during World War II, and a replica of the Independiente brig, a ship used by the National Navy during the war of Independence, are on display. Inside the replica of the Independiente brig, there are dioramas with representations of the most important naval battles that Colombia has fought throughout its history.

Zoo The park's zoo contains several birds and monkeys as well as species native to South America, such as the capybara. It has specimens of about 200 species.

Wakatá Bio-Park This park was inaugurated in 1991. It is managed by Jaime Duque Park under technical and professional supervision from La Salle University. Wakatá is a unit dedicated to conservation activities and environmental education. It trains students from different professions in the study and management of wild species and serves to support environment by providing a foster home for animals that have been confiscated by authorities.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Jaime Duque Park

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Jaime Duque Park claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Jaime Duque Park before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Jaime Duque Park ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Jaime Duque Park

In research: Jaime Duque Park appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Jaime Duque Park in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Jaime Duque Park is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Amusement parks in Colombia, Aviaries, Operating amusement parks, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Jaime Duque Park outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
