The Experience

“That’s where it happened,” our guide Carlos said, voice dropping a little as we stopped in Los Olivos. I didn’t expect the street to look so ordinary—kids playing fútbol, a guy selling mango slices with salt. It’s wild how normal life goes on right where Pablo Escobar was killed. Carlos told us about that day like he’d watched it from his window, even though he was just a kid back then. The air smelled like rain on concrete, and I kept glancing up at the balconies, half-expecting someone to appear.

The tour took us to Inflection Park—used to be the Monaco building, now it’s this strange quiet space with trees and some art about memory. I touched the wall there, rough under my fingers. We talked about Griselda Blanco too (La Madrina), who honestly I knew less about before this. Her story is wild—Carlos called her “the Black Widow” and laughed when I tried to say her nickname in Spanish. He pointed out her old properties—one had these weird white lions by the gate—and we drove through Barrio Antioquia where she started out. The city feels different when you know what went down in these neighborhoods.

We visited the cemetery where both Escobar and Griselda are buried—marble everywhere, but people still leave flowers or notes. There was this moment of silence; even Carlos got quiet for a second. It made me think about how everyone here has some connection or memory tied up in all this history… not just headlines or Netflix stuff.

I’m still turning over some of those stories in my head days later. You see Medellin’s beauty and messiness side by side on this Pablo Escobar & Griselda Blanco tour—honestly, it sticks with you longer than you expect.
