Private tour: The Escobar Years and Medellin's Social Transformation Discount Tickets

Overview

Back in the early 1990s, Medellín was considered the most dangerous city in the world. Pablo Escobar and the “Cartel of Medellín” controlled vast parts of the international cocaine traffic.

Get to know the memorial park of the dark years of Escobar, “Parque de Inflexión”, built on one of his former properties, and honor the countless victims. Explore the “Casa de la Memoria” - an urban conflict investigation center – that offers exclusive insights into the controversial part of the city’s recent history - nowadays a place of hope and a landmark of social transformation. Your private expert guide provides insider information on the historical dimension of the phenomenon of Escobar and you will obtain a deeper understanding of the unique history of Medellín and the uniqueness of its transformation.
