Delve into the legend of the world's most famous drug lord with this fantastic tour of the locations that marked Pablo Escobar's life in Medellin.
Our Pablo Escobar tour starts at pretty El Poblado Park. From here we head to the Monaco Building, the former residence of the famous leader of the Medellin cartel. We'll hear about some of the episodes that marked the organization's struggle for control of drug trafficking. Their main rival, the Cali cartel, perpetrated an attack with a car bomb right next to this building. The main objective was to eliminate Pablo Escobar, but that day neither he nor any member of his family was in the block of apartments.
Next, we visit the Montesacro cemetery, where Pablo Escobar's grave is the most visited in the entire cemetery. There, we'll learn some anecdotes that have served as inspiration for the TV series Narcos.
We continue the tour with a visit to the Pablo Escobar Family Museum. In 1983, the so-called El patrón del mal decided to launch his political career in order to gain control over the country's laws, but he was in the midst of a complex process of cleaning up his image. The press, after all, was portraying Escobar as a dangerous drug trafficker.
At the museum, we'll explore one of the city’s most complex periods through a historical and reflective lens. Artefacts, historical documents, photographs and accounts will help us understand the social context of drug trafficking during this era and its impact on Colombia.
Finally, we'll return to the starting point after a 4-hour tour.
If you want to learn more about the Medellín cartel, this option is perfect for you. During the first part of the tour, we'll follow the route described in the above tour dedicated to Pablo Escobar.
To complete the tour, we'll visit Comuna 13, a former epicenter of violence during the era of drug trafficking terror. Today, the area has managed to reinvent itself and become a place where art, music and coexistence have become the true protagonists of this Medellín neighborhood.
We'll finish this tour at the meeting point after a 5-hour tour.
You can book up to 8 hours in advance if there are any seats left. Book now and guarantee your spot.
