Delve into the legend of the world's most famous drug lord with this fantastic tour of the locations that marked Pablo Escobar's life in Medellin.

Pablo Escobar Tour

Our Pablo Escobar tour starts at El Poblado Park. From here, we head to the Monaco Building, the former residence of Pablo Escobar. We will discuss episodes related to the Medellin cartel's struggle for control of drug trafficking, including an attack by the Cali cartel near this building aimed at eliminating Escobar.

Next, we visit Montesacro cemetery, where Pablo Escobar's grave is the most visited. There, we will learn anecdotes that inspired the TV series Narcos.

The tour continues to Barrio Pablo Escobar, where in 1983, Escobar launched his political career while trying to clean up his image through charitable works in the area. We will share his full story.

Pablo Escobar's reign ended in 1993. We will visit the building where he died, discussing various hypotheses about his death, including theories of suicide or execution by forces.

The tour concludes at the starting point after a 4-hour duration.
