Our guide Feliciano did great - I think it is a good experience since there are a lot of legends being spread about Pablo Escobar. We ended up visiting his private jail and saw how he managed to control many movements in the city. I recommend.

Impressive and accurate - I always wondered about pablo escobars fortune/wealth and the spots where he did a lot of things that we knew about through the news, it is incredible how many events were prepared from these mountains with amazing views and foggy forest, i recommend taking this trip to be aware of the bad and the good of the character of Escobar.
