Description

Are you a pop-culture buff? If so, you can’t miss this awesome, first-person look at the life and times of Pablo Escobar. Once the world’s most notorious gangster made infamous billionaire, Escobar was as ruthless as he was benevolent. Our Pablo Escobar Tour is frowned upon by locals that want to rid the world of his memory.

For that reason, this tour is more of a historical excursion that emphasizes his rise and downfall. From his roots in the municipality of Envigado as a petty crook to his huge investments in the neighborhood of El Poblado, Medellín, and finally, the place of his burial in Itagui. This Pablo Escobar Tour will take you where no Netflix series ever will.

You’ll learn about the myths that still surround the Escobar name and visit the places he frequented and see a side of the city you otherwise wouldn’t. All of this while being accompanied by a knowledgeable, bilingual guide in a cool 17 passenger Mercedes Sprinter whilst sipping back a cold beer.

This tour is for fans of the Narcos series, and people that have followed the growth of the city of Medellin. Please keep in mind that locals are hesitant about this tour being done so please be respectful and don’t be that group of crass individuals (we’ve had quite a few).

We often have groups looking to partake in rather disrespectful acts at the cemetery where both Escobar and Griselda Blanco (the white widow) are buried. The tour is mostly frowned upon because of those guys. Don’t ruin it for the rest of us.

  • English speaking guide
