Explore Medellín's turbulent past and its stunning natural surroundings on a 2-day tour. Visit key locations where Pablo Escobar’s reign ended, including La Catedral, the luxurious prison he built for himself, his cemetery, and the rooftop at Los Olivos, where he was finally caught.

Visit the Monaco Building site, once targeted by rival cartels, walk through Comuna 13, a neighborhood that has transformed from one of the most dangerous areas into a hub of street art and resilience, and see Barrio Pablo Escobar, the community he built for the poor.

Visit the Pablo Escobar Museum, created by his brother, and the House of Memory, a powerful tribute to the victims of his violence. This tour does not glorify Escobar but focuses on the stories of those who suffered the most—police officers, government officials, and civilians—highlighting Medellín’s resilience and its transformation into one of the world’s most innovative cities.

On the second day, escape the city and head to Guatapé and El Peñol for 8 hours of breathtaking scenery. Wander through the colorful streets of Guatapé and climb the famous El Peñol Rock, with entrance included, to take in panoramic views of the surrounding lakes and mountains.

Afterward, enjoy a relaxing boat tour on the Guatapé reservoir, where you’ll cruise past stunning landscapes and even see the submerged ruins of an old town. The tour also includes a visit to Pablo Escobar’s former lakeside mansion, La Manuela, where you’ll learn about its history and how it was destroyed during the height of the cartel wars.
