Description

Discover the story of Colombia’s most notorious drug lord. In the tour, you'll visit a neighborhood he built for the poor, a park dedicated to his victims, and his final resting place at the cemetery.
The meeting point is at Parque del Poblado, where your tour guide will be waiting for you. From there, you'll be driven to the first stop: a neighborhood that Pablo Escobar built and gave away for free to low-income families. At this location, you'll learn about the early years of his life and see a large mural depicting his face.

The second stop is Parque Memorial Inflexión, a park created to honor the memory of all the victims of violence, assassinations, and car bombings caused by the war Escobar waged against the government. The park was built on the site of Escobar's former family residence, the Monaco Building, which was demolished to make space for this memorial.

Next, you'll visit Jardines Montesacro Cemetery, where you'll find the grave of Pablo Escobar, as well as those of his parents and other family members. This cemetery also holds the grave of Griselda Blanco, one of Colombia’s most infamous female drug traffickers.

The final stop is the house where Pablo Escobar was killed. Here, you’ll hear the story of how the richest man in Colombia spent his last days hiding in a modest home, trying to contact his family as his empire crumbled.

At the end of the tour, your guide will take you back to Parque del Poblado, leaving you with a new perspective on the complex and controversial legacy of Pablo Escobar—a man who helped many, but harmed many more.
