Additional Information

This tour does not praise or promote crime, nor does it adopt the repressive attitude of traditional institutions. Instead, we strive to deeply understand the causes, context and consequences.

Visit some of the places that marked Escobar’s life, learn about the main anecdotes and historical moments and understand the drug phenomenon, with objectivity and neutrality, as if you were making a documentary. Our agency uses the approach and techniques of journalism.

This tour allows you to analyze the history and reflect on drug trafficking, violence and corruption in Colombia. An independent journalistic approach is used, without being limited to the biases of the media, or the censorship of the authorities, or the particular feelings of the people closest to the head of the Medellín Cartel.
