Overview

Get facts straight from the natives who witnessed the terrible times during the late 80´s. On this full day tour, go back in time to the places that had the most relevance throughout 44 years of Pablo´s life. Starting from his humble neighborhood growing up, all the way up to the buildings and mansions he accumulated during his life, including his private prison, cemetery, and his final hideout when caught in 1993. Combining both city and rural scenery, this comprehensive tour goes further to include one of the drug lord´s abandoned mansions by the Guatapé Lake.

This tour will provide a great learning experience as to what should NOT happen in society and which characters should be the real heroes.

Tour focuses on the victims by telling stories of those who suffer most, like police officers and government officials. Since there is no glorification, at the end you will understand how resilient the people from Medellin have been. In fact, it is the most innovative city.
