Our Pablo Escobar tour was an interesting experience with an unexpected twist. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the Pablo prison, it was closed. We were told the Mayor came and closed it 20 minutes before we arrive which was disappointing. However, our guide Alex, handled the situation very well and made it up to us by taking us to an amazing local chicken spot -- one of the best meals we had on our trip! While we missed seeing the prison, the guide's effort and flexibility turned th day into a memorable one. We were still able to see the rooftop, graveyard and local neighborhood where his home was blown up.
