Pablo Escobar Tour in the north of Medellín

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. The tour in the north visits sites related to Escobar’s beginnings in crime, his victims and the place of his death. This tour in the north allows you to see places that have been little explored until now.

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.

Itinerary

– Former La Ladera prison: a penal center where Escobar served his first sentences in the 1970s and where he decided to start his career in drug trafficking. Today, in this place there is a library park and a sports arena, which facilitate the development of people.

– San Pedro Cemetery: a cemetery with the most luxurious mausoleums in the city and which, it is rumored, Escobar desecrated in his youth.

– Lovaina sector: territory where various criminal activities of Escobar and his cousin Gustavo Gaviria took place.

– Museum of Memory: public museum with exhibits and stories of the victims of the Medellín Cartel. It does not operate on Mondays (or Tuesdays, if Monday was a holiday). If it is closed, events attributed to Escobar will be recreated in the surrounding area.

– Gustavo Gaviria’s neighborhood: neighborhood of Escobar’s cousin and first partner, from where criminal activities, investments and works that can still be visited were developed.

– Place of his death: house where the kingpin was cornered and killed.

Optional stops (at additional cost)

– Transportation and accompaniment to visit the Pablo Escobar Museum: a place with objects once owned by Escobar. Our rates do not include admission tickets to the museum; these are paid by the user directly at the museum’s ticket office. The entrance fee to the museum is COP 120,000 per person.
Approximate duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes.
