Description

Begin with hotel pickup and an introduction from your guide, who presents the tour’s theme: “from violence to hope.” Visit key locations such as the Memorial Inflexion Park, built on the former site of the Monaco Building, with an explanation of its demolition as a symbolic act of historical memory. Depending on logistics, the itinerary may also include a view of La Catedral, Escobar’s former prison. Take a cultural break at the Café de Memoria, where you can enjoy locally sourced coffee and engage in dialogue about Medellín’s evolution in the post-violence era. Continue to Jardines Montesacro Cemetery, where Escobar and other significant figures are buried, offering a space for reflection on justice, forgiveness, and transformation. In the Los Olivos neighborhood — the place where Escobar was killed — hear a neutral account of his final days, along with insights into how the community has rebuilt itself in peace. Conclude at the Pablo Escobar House Museum with a final message of resilience.
