4. The place where Pablo Escobar died is just a symbol of the end of an era, of how someone who became one of the richest and most important men on the planet dies, but who reminds us of that condition we all humans share: mortality. There are still mixed versions about how Pablo died. Beyond that, the tour focuses on describing various perspectives and narratives of what drug trafficking and the armed conflict have represented to Colombia and how it shaped our culture, the country's social and political dynamics, and how Medellín has been transformed in terms of infrastructure and urban level.

5. The Cable car is one of symbols of resilience and urban transformation that endorse our capacity to overcome adversity. Medellín was once (1989-1991) the most violent city worldwide, but the Metro and the public transport system came in very handy, endorsing that image we embrace now: one of the most developed cities in Latin America. Attesting the effort and investment in urban and social projects, the metrocable represents a bridge between the city and various communities in disadvantage, that otherwise would not have the means to move within the city

About Medellín

Medellín is Colombia's spring-like city in the Andes, known for its cable cars, vibrant neighbourhoods and remarkable story of transformation.

The city fills a long Andean valley, with brick houses climbing the slopes and a climate mild enough to earn it the name City of Eternal Spring. Its metro and Metrocable cable cars link hillside communities to the centre and give sweeping views on the ride up toward the forests of Parque Arví.
