Private - Dark Days: Pablo Escobar Tour & The New Medellin

The journey, in full

Once our bilingual driver has met you at the hotel or the location you have suggested for pick up, tour heads south on a customized journey by car with AC just minutes away. First stop takes place at Pablo´s initial days at an average neighborhood ironically called “La Paz” or peace in Spanish. Feel free to stop anytime and use bathrooms or purchase extra drinks while you make yourself comfortable and take pictures or ask questions to the guide. There are convenient facilities where to grab snacks at any time so is recommended to bring cash or Colombian pesos since not every store takes credit or debit cards. Next tour drives around El Poblado, most prestigious Medellin suburb, to show you how this individual managed to fit in the elite society of those days by developing the most luxurious high rises which even today stand out. Working against the status-quo, Pablo put his own penthouse right in front of the most prestigious golf course in the city. Monaco is the building where your guide will stop next so you can stretch your legs and take some photos as you are guided to Pablo’s personal walk-in safe at the top. Discover next where and how Pablo was finally caught on December 1993 after an 18 months pursuit since he left his private jail south of the city. Was he shot or did he suicide? Make your own conclusions as your guide explains what happened the day Pablo was caught. Finally, your guide will make an interesting stop at an exclusive private cemetery to point Pablo´s graveyard which lays next to his whole family and seats also next to Griselda Blanco, The Black Widow, who was Pablo´s mentor at one point along with the Ochoa brothers. It has already been a pleasure to show you the new and improved Medellin and our team definitely looks forward to welcoming your family and friends in the near future so feel free to ask your guide for info and special deals as you are headed back. After approximately 3 hours of a fantastic journey, you should be already familiar with Medellin and how it has gone from the most violent city on earth to the most innovative as your private driver/guide takes you back to your hotel or any other location you feel like.
