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, Escobar's former residence. We will discuss key events in the struggle for control of drug trafficking, including a car bomb attack by the Cali cartel intended to eliminate Escobar which failed that day.

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

We then proceed to the iconic Barrio Pablo Escobar, where Escobar attempted to clean up his image by engaging in charitable works amid accusations of being a dangerous drug trafficker.

The tour includes a visit to the building where he died and explores various hypotheses surrounding his death: suicide, execution by U.S. or Colombian forces, or betrayal by trusted associates.

The tour concludes after 4 hours back at the starting point.

Pablo Escobar Tour + Comuna 13

This option includes the initial route of the Pablo Escobar tour. After that, we will visit Comuna 13, a former hub of violence transformed into a vibrant neighborhood focusing on art, music and coexistence.

We will finish this extended tour after 5 hours at the meeting point.
