Pablo Escobar and his family lived in Hacienda Napoles, a vast and tony ranch in Colombia about 100 miles east of Medellín. The ranch, which included three zoos full of exotic animals, has since been turned into a theme park.

Escobar's ranch included 27 artificial lakes, swimming pools, an airstrip, a gas station, 1,700 employees -- and four hippos the drug kingpin bought from a US zoo. They have since bred and now number in the dozens.

The house featured exhibits about the life of Escobar, who built a multibillion-dollar empire dealing cocaine. Along the way, he ordered the deaths of thousands of people, among them politicians, judges, journalists and rival traffickers.

Escobar was killed in 1993 in a gunbattle with authorities. His son, Sebastian Marroquin, says the forensic report and a photo of the body led him to believe that while his father was badly wounded by police, he killed himself in the shootout.

Escobar also collected cars; their rusted-out remains were on display at the ranch-turned-park in 2009.

The Colombian single-engine airplane Escobar used to send his first cocaine shipment to the United States was incorporated into the park's entrance.
