Step by Step
This tour touches on the most famous drug trafficker in the world: Pablo Escobar. From humble beginnings, he built an empire with cocaine trafficking and even became a politician for a brief period. The itinerary lasts approximately 3 to 4 hours and includes an expert guide who will accompany you to the following points in Medellín:
- Jardines Montesacro Cemetery: the burial place of Pablo Escobar. It is an almost minimalist cemetery, with tombs at the height of the lawn. Some of his family, friends and collaborators are also buried here.
- Parque Memorial Inflexión: the public park that pays homage to the victims of drug trafficking, who are remembered with commemorative plaques.
- Virgen Rosa Mística: a small shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary. According to locals, Escobar used to go here to pray.
- Barrio Pablo Escobar: to win the support of the population, the drug trafficker had an entire neighbourhood, originally known as "Medellín sin Tugurios", built for the inhabitants of the Moravia slum.
Every successful criminal organisation needs a social consensus. To achieve this, the "king of cocaine" had schools, sports centres and even hospitals built. Thanks to the guide's explanations , you will be able to understand his modus operandi. Insurance, bottled water and transport around Medellín are also included.
