Description

The meeting point is at Parque del Poblado, where your tour guide will be waiting for you. From there, you'll be driven to the first stop: a complete neighborhood built by Pablo Escobar and gifted to the impoverished. Here, you'll learn about his early life and encounter a large graffiti mural depicting his likeness. Next, you'll visit Parque Memorial de la Inflexion, constructed in memory of those who perished due to violence, hired killers, and car bombings during Escobar's war against the government. This park stands on the former site of Escobar's family home, the Monaco building, which was demolished to create the memorial. Afterward, you'll stop at Cementerio Jardines Montesacro, where you'll find the grave of Pablo Escobar and his family members, including his parents. You'll also see the grave of Griselda Blanco, Colombia's most prominent female drug dealer. Your final destination is the house where Escobar was killed. Here, you'll hear the story of how Colombia's wealthiest man spent his final days in a modest home, attempting to communicate with his family as his empire crumbled around him. Finally, the guide will return you to Parque del Poblado, providing you with a new perspective on the complex history of Pablo Escobar—a man who aided many but harmed many more.
