Our tour of Pablo Escobar will begin in El Poblado Park. Here we will go to the place where the Monaco building was located, now the park of inflexion, where we will learn why the drug lord is not loved in our city, we will remember the victims that left the war in more than a decade in our country, characters who were not intimidated by the motto of the narcos silver or lead. we will see a chronology of each attack, car bombs, massacres and murders that perpetrated the cartels. We will review some of the episodes that marked this organization's fight for control of drug trafficking. Their Main Rival, The Cali Cartel Perpetrated A Car Bomb Attack Precisely in this place, it was one of the first car bombs in Medellin. The Main Objective Was To Eliminate Pablo Escobar, But That Day The Boss Was Not In The Building, But His Family Was Affected.
In addition, we will visit the Montesacro Cemetery, where the tomb of Pablo Escobar is one of the most visited in the cemetery among others such as his father and mother, his cousin Gustavo Gaviria and a woman who was one of the first narcos in Medellin Griselda Blanco, better known as "the black widow".
