Itinerary

1. Once known as one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the world, Comuna 13 is now the symbol of Medellín’s transformation — a living example of how art, community, and resilience can rebuild a city. Located on the western hills of Medellín, Comuna 13 has turned its painful past into a story of inspiration and creativity. Colorful graffiti murals cover its steep streets, each one telling stories of struggle, loss, and hope

   4 hAdmission included

2. Located in southeastern Medellín, Barrio Pablo Escobar is a neighborhood originally built in the late 1980s by Pablo Escobar to provide housing for low-income families displaced by city demolitions. Around 400 families received homes as part of what he called “Medellín sin tugurios” (Medellín without slums).

   1 hAdmission included

3. The tomb of Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria is located in the Jardines Montesacro Cemetery, in Itagüí, on the outskirts of Medellín. It is a simple tomb, made of dark marble, where some of his relatives also rest, such as his brother and his parents. The place is usually adorned with fresh flowers and messages left by visitors from all over the world: some arrive out of historical curiosity, others out of respect or reflection on the impact that Escobar had in Colombia.

   30 minAdmission included

4. The Inflection Park is located on the site where the Monaco Building used to be, one of the old properties of Pablo Escobar. After being demolished in 2019, the place was transformed into a memorial dedicated to the victims of narcoterrorism in Colombia

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.
