Our Pablo Escobar tour focuses on discussing different points of view around Pablo and the problems related to drug trafficking.
Our purpose is to discuss about this scourge and its impact in our country and the process Medellín has gone through in order to become a more developed and safer city.
For many years the city and its people have been stigmatized by violence and drug trafficking, we intend to explain why the country has had armed actors and people like Pablo Escobar, who are finally the reflection of many factors.
We will get to know the causes of this negative blip in the history of our country, the effect this has brought to our society and Medellin’s urban and social transformation.
Over 46 thousand deaths attributed to the war related to drug lords and cartels. We do not glorify him, we seek to understand the whole context of the time.

The place where Pablo Escobar died is just a symbol of the end of an era, of how someone who became one of the richest and most important men on the planet dies, but who reminds us of that condition we all humans share: mortality. There are still mixed versions about how Pablo died. Beyond that, the tour focuses on describing various perspectives and narratives of what drug trafficking and the armed conflict have represented to Colombia and how it shaped our culture, the country's social and political dynamics, and how Medellín has been transformed in terms of infrastructure and urban level.

The Cable car is one of symbols of resilience and urban transformation that endorse our capacity to overcome adversity. Medellín was once (1989-1991) the most violent city worldwide, but the Metro and the public transport system came in very handy, endorsing that image we embrace now: one of the most developed cities in Latin America. Attesting the effort and investment in urban and social projects, the metrocable represents a bridge between the city and various communities in disadvantage, that otherwise would not have the means to move within the city
