The experience
The tour moves through Medellin's neighborhoods and landmarks over three to four hours with private transportation and a guide who speaks English or Spanish. You'll pass the Mystic Rose, a significant religious image for Colombian Catholics, then arrive at Inflection Park, where the Monaco Building once stood: the structure Escobar owned and where an attack left his daughter deaf in one ear. The park now holds commemorative plaques and tells the story of the major car bomb attacks from that era. The guide walks you through what happened at each site and why it matters to understanding the city's history.
Next you visit the Pablo Escobar neighborhood where he spent his childhood. From there you can see La Catedral prison, which he built himself. The neighborhood also housed Colombia's first sports complex and its first lit field. Then comes Montesacro Cemetery, where Escobar, his parents, and his cousin Gustavo Gaviria, his right-hand man, are buried. The guide explains Gustavo's murder and tells the story of Griselda Blanco, known as the Black Widow, who is believed to have introduced both men to drug trafficking.
The tour ends at the Pablo Escobar Museum, where you see photographs and objects from this period. Whether you enter the museum depends on which option you chose at checkout: one includes admission, the other does not. Throughout the day you can have a national beer or bottled water as you move between stops.
Is this one for you?Choose the option with museum entry if you want to see the photographs, vehicles and objects that document this period. Pick the tour-only option if you prefer the neighborhoods and cemetery without going inside the museum.
