Highlights
This tour does not glorify or promote crime, nor does it adopt the repressive stance of traditional institutions. We strive to deeply understand the causes, context, and consequences. Explore places that shaped Escobar's life, learn about key anecdotes and historical moments, and understand the drug trafficking phenomenon objectively and neutrally, as if you were making a documentary. Our agency uses journalistic techniques. This tour allows you to analyze history and reflect on drug trafficking, violence, and corruption in Colombia. An independent journalistic approach is used, without being limited by media biases, censorship by authorities, or the feelings of those closest to the head of the Medellín Cartel. The visit to La Catedral will be limited to the areas that are open, as access policies may change at this location, as determined by local authorities.

Ablauf
Former Monaco Building, the main residence of Pablo Escobar and his family. Today, it serves as a memorial to the victims of Escobar's criminal activities and the drug war in general.
We'll arrive at the section of La Catedral open to the public. From there, we'll show you the areas where the cells, nightclub, lounges, guard tower, tunnels, and Escobar's escape route were located. We'll also show you the site of the former soccer field and where, according to the site's administrators, a mass grave and a cocaine lab were found. You can always stand and walk around the grounds of what was the old prison. Access to certain areas may be restricted without prior notice by local authorities or administrators. Some of these areas have been reconstructed. Some photos added by users show close-ups of the cells, helipad, escape route, the interior of the nightclub, the guard tower, etc. However, as of June 2025, authorities do not allow walking through these areas any longer.
Neighborhood where Pablo Escobar grew up: You'll visit the Envigado area where Escobar's house was located during his youth.
You'll see Escobar's burial site, which receives numerous visitors, offerings, and talismans at different times of the year.

About Medellín
Medellín ist Kolumbiens frühlingshafte Stadt in den Anden, bekannt für Seilbahnen, lebendige Viertel und eine bemerkenswerte Verwandlungsgeschichte.
Die Stadt füllt ein langes Andental, mit Backsteinhäusern, die die Hänge hinaufklettern, und einem so milden Klima, dass sie den Namen Stadt des ewigen Frühlings trägt. Ihre Metro und die Metrocable-Seilbahnen verbinden die Hangviertel mit dem Zentrum und bieten weite Ausblicke auf der Fahrt hinauf zu den Wäldern des Parque Arví.
Top-ranked sights in Medellín: Guatapé (Pueblo de Zócalos), Plaza Botero, Pueblito Paisa .
