Medellin: Pablo Escobar Tour with Museum & Inflection Park

Summary

Pablo Escobar’s story in Medellin through sites, memories, and the city’s voices

You’ll walk Medellin’s complicated past with a local guide—standing by Escobar’s grave, hearing stories on the infamous rooftop, holding relics at his family museum in Comuna 13, and pausing for reflection at Inflection Park. Expect moments that surprise you or make you uneasy—it’s not just history here; it lingers in small details.

What’s the experience like?

The morning started with our driver getting lost for five minutes outside the Montesacro Gardens Cemetery — honestly, I was relieved to see even locals get turned around in Medellin’s tangle of streets. Our guide, Camilo, just laughed and waved at the flower sellers while we waited. When we finally got to Pablo Escobar’s grave, it was quieter than I expected. There were fresh lilies on Griselda Blanco’s headstone too. Camilo explained how people still argue about leaving tributes here — you could hear it in his voice that this history is personal for a lot of folks.

We drove next to the rooftop where Escobar died. The sun was sharp and there was laundry flapping nearby — somehow life just goes on around these places. Camilo told us both versions of what happened that day (he didn’t pick sides), and I caught myself looking at the chipped paint on the walls instead of the view. Someone in our group asked about the family’s story, and Camilo shrugged: “Everyone has their own truth.” It felt honest, not rehearsed.

I didn’t expect to feel much at the Pablo Escobar Museum in Comuna 13, but seeing old photos and odd little objects — like a faded phone — made it real in a strange way. The air inside smelled like dust and something sweet (maybe incense?). We finished at Inflection Park where kids were playing soccer under big trees. The memorial is subtle but heavy; Camilo paused there longer than anywhere else. I still think about that silence.
