Description
Go on an exclusive four-hour tour with ex-police officer Carlos Palau who was involved in the SWAT operation that helped to track down Pablo Escobar. Get the hair-raising inside account of the Escobar days from one of the few remaining witnesses. Get picked up from your accommodation and head to the neighborhood of La Paz where Pablo spent his early days. Stop at La Cathedral and learn how Pablo cleverly negotiated the terms of his surrender to the Colombian government by building a deluxe prison for him and his gang which included a football field, jacuzzi, bar, and waterfall. Take in the spectacular city views from the location which today serves as a retirement community and lush natural reserve. Then head to the infamous Monaco building where Pablo's family and gang lived for a couple years alongside Medellin's elite before the detonation of the first car bomb in Colombia in the late 80s. Afterwards, visit the rooftop where Pablo was killed in late 1993 after 18 months of intensive pursuit. Draw your own conclusions regarding the circumstances of Pablo's death after hearing the amazing anecdotes by someone who participated in the manhunt. Finally, arrive at the cemetery where Pablo is buried along with his family, and ironically, much of the upper class society of his day. Hear about the end of the mafia days and the Medellin of the present that grown forth from its troubled past. Don't miss this firsthand account of the Escobar era and go on a tour that takes you beyond the Netflix series.Includes
