Overview

This is an unusual tour, aimed at fans and people especially interested in the history of Escobar and the Medellín Cartel. Combine a tour inside Pablo Escobar's mansion with the main attractions of Guatapé: the El Peñol Rock and a walking tour through the colorful town of zócalos. Additionally, you will have free time to do extra activities according to your interest.

This tour does not praise or promote crime, nor does it assume the repressive attitude of traditional institutions. Instead, we strive to understand the causes, the context, and the consequences. Analyze the history and reflect on drug trafficking, violence, and corruption in Colombia. An independent journalistic approach is used, without being limited to the biases of the media, nor to the censorship of the authorities, nor to the particular interests of the people closest to Escobar.
