Visit the neighborhood Pablo Escobar had built for vulnerable families in Medellin. These homes, delivered in the most critical years of his rise, show how he gained social support through works that still endure. At this stop we will enter a mini community museum, where through photographs, stories and objects the history of the construction of the neighborhood and the influence it had on its inhabitants are narrated. More than walking the streets, this experience offers an intimate look at the social impact and footprint left in the city
