3 to 4 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English and 3 more

This tour does not praise or promote crime, nor does it take on the repressive attitude of traditional institutions. Instead, we strive to deeply understand the causes, context and consequences.

Go through some places that marked Escobar’s life, know the main anecdotes and historical moments and understand the narco phenomenon, with objectivity and neutrality, as if you were making a documentary. Our agency uses the approach and techniques of journalism.

You can customize the tour with additional stops: visit Commune 13 or add a route about Escobar's beginnings in crime.

This tour allows you to analyze history and reflect on drug trafficking, violence and corruption in Colombia. An independent journalistic approach is used, not limited to media biases, censorship by the authorities, or the particular feelings of those closest to the head of the Medellin Cartel.
