Presentation
The subject of Pablo Escobar and the Medellín Cartel is broad, deep and complex. The tourists most interested in this subject are not able to cover everything they would like to in a single day. With them in mind, we offer a tour of Pablo Escobar in the north of the city and another in the south. In the southern tour we visit the territory most controlled by Escobar in the city and the tomb where he lies.
This tour must be done in a vehicle, as it visits different parts of the city that are separated by several kilometers. You will have the opportunity to walk through the places where stops are made.
