Exploring Medellín is also an opportunity to learn about key episodes in its recent history. This Pablo Escobar tour invites you to visit significant places that help you understand the impact of one of the country’s most controversial figures.
Throughout the tour, you'll explore the contrast between two sides of the same person. On one hand, the life of an entrepreneur who knew how to influence his surroundings; on the other, the harsh reality of someone who led a criminal organization that left deep scars on the city and on Colombia. Understanding this duality allows you to reflect on how Medellín has confronted its past and continues to build a future of peace.
The tour begins at Parque La Inflexión, located where Pablo Escobar's Mónaco building once stood. Today, it is a memorial space honoring the victims of drug trafficking in Medellín. It features a wall with over 46,000 blocks symbolizing lives lost, aiming to inspire reflection and reconciliation.
We will then visit the Rosa Mística Virgin, recognized as a place of devotion and pilgrimage for drug traffickers and hitmen. Next, we'll head to Jardines Montesacro Cemetery, where Pablo Escobar's tomb lies, surrounded by the remains of some of his relatives and friends. The tour ends at Plaza de San Antonio in downtown Medellín, known for its history, street art, and the iconic sculpture The Bird by Fernando Botero. The sculpture was restored after a bombing and now symbolizes the city's resilience.
Throughout the tour, one of our local guides will accompany you, providing context and ensuring an informed, respectful, and enriching experience. Each stop serves as a reminder and an opportunity to raise awareness about the lessons learned from one of Medellín's most challenging periods.
This Pablo Escobar tour takes you to the places where Medellín has transformed pain into memory. You'll learn about its history in an ethical, safe way, with professional guidance. Book our tour in Medellín and get ready for a thought-provoking experience.

By the end of the week, I felt I'd made a new friend and was leaving a city I had fallen in love with. If and when we get to go back, I'll be asking Daniel to take us to more sites and share more of his favorite places with us. I can't adequately express how much his time and dedication to our trip meant to me. Absolutely wonderful tour guide.
