Our Pablo Escobar tour focuses on discussing different points of view around Pablo and the problems related to drug trafficking.
Our purpose is to discuss about this scourge and its impact in our country and the process Medellín has gone through in order to become a more developed and safer city.
For many years the city and its people have been stigmatized by violence and drug trafficking, we intend to explain why the country has had armed actors and people like Pablo Escobar, who are finally the reflection of many factors.
We will get to know the causes of this negative blip in the history of our country, the effect this has brought to our society and Medellin’s urban and social transformation.
Over 46 thousand deaths attributed to the war related to drug lords and cartels. We do not glorify him, we seek to understand the whole context of the time.

Today we did the Pablo escobartour with Juan Camilo. To start his english was very good. He brought us to all the places and told us the real story about Pablo Escobar. He was not a hero but everyone was afraid of him. Because Juan speaks really good english he could tell us very good how the situation was at that time. We did also ask a lot of questions about other things and he told us a lot about Colombia. When you want to see something of Medellin it’s worth booking the Pablo escobartour and we recommend asking voor Juan.
