Full description

Learn all about Pablo Escobar's life on a 4-hour guided, private tour in Medellín including three main stops: Inflexion Memorial Park, La Catedral jail, and a cable car ride to enjoy a panoramic view of the West side of the city for unforgettable photo opportunities.

Hear interesting anecdotes as a knowledgeable guide presents Pablo Escobar's history on a sightseeing tour of the most famous locations linked to the drug lord, and how he affected Medellín and Colombia as a whole.

Start your tour by visiting the Inflexion Memorial Park, built in 2019 on top of the lot of the old Monaco Building, a former property of the drug lord, to commemorate the 46,612 victims who were killed during his rule. 

Take a moment to walk through the moving space while your guide tells you facts of that time.

Next, make your way to La Catedral, a personal prison Pablo Escobar built for himself — and where he spent five years — on top of a hill overlooking the city. It is said that he could choose who guarded him, and that the prison was built more to keep his enemies out than to keep him in.

Drive on to visit the cemetery where Pablo Escobar is buried, as well as the neighborhood in which he spent his teenage years, and the house where he died. End your tour with a spectacular panoramic view of the West side of the city on a cable car ride before being dropped back off at your hotel.

I had a private tour with Andres and he was a fantastic guide! He was very intelligent and had a great sense of humor. He provided me with much more information than just about Pablo Escobar. I left feeling I had a much greater understanding of Medellin and Colombia and as though I made a friend. Highly recommend!

We had the pleasure of having Mauricio as our tour guide. He was exceptional and spoke very well english. He explained the history of Pablo Escobar in a clear manner and gladly repeated when we had missed something. He layed it all out in a great way, and got into all sorts of details. It made the whole tour come alive. He patiently listened and replied to all our questions. You can really see that he enjoys what he's doing! I don't know which part of the tour I preferred best. Every stop was unique and interesting in its own way. And not only did Mauricio know a lot about Pablo, but also many things about Medellin in general. We could really ask him anythin. So, we didn't just learn about Pablo but so many other things! We loved our day with him. I highly recommend this tour if you want to know everything about Pablo, his life and his family.
