Overview

Medellín became a violent city in the 1980s, marked by the struggle between life and death. Bombs in public places, kidnappings, murders, fear and collective anxiety have consolidated this image. In response to this, various sectors of society deployed a set of collective and individual, social and institutional actions to resist and overcome the devastating impacts of these phenomena and times of violence.
The objective of our tour is to understand what Medellín experienced in the most difficult times of our history.

Activity itinerary

Parque Memorial Inflexion
  • 35m
Our tour of Pablo Escobar + Comuna 13 begins in the Inflection Park (former Monaco building) one of the most important properties for the capo after the Napoles hacienda, there we will talk about what happened during the eighties and until 1993, Pablo Escobar and those extraditables used terrorist attacks, political kidnappings and selective assassinations of judges, journalists, police and left-wing militants, in this case in complicity with the MAS and some members of the public force. This righteous, vindictive and indiscriminate violence against the population, but at the same time selective against some characters, sought to subdue and intimidate sectors of the state and society that threatened their interests.
Cementerio Jardines Montesacro
  • 25m
We will take a step through the cemetery where the former drug lord is buried along with several of his partners and relatives where we will talk about how Medellín was recognised, at least until the middle of the first decade of this century, as one of the most violent cities of the country and the world.
Barrio Pablo Escobar
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
We will make our way to our third site, which is the Pablo Escobar area, and there we will understand how drug trafficking has been one of the factors that explains the persistence and magnitude of the armed conflict in Colombia and how it injected resources and encouraged the creation of new armies, he corrupted and permeated the state, winning over all social classes to clear his name of various accusations.
Medellin
  • 15m
We continue the Pablo Escobar and Comuna 13 Tour going to the Los Olivos area located in the west of the city where we will find the place where Escobar was killed where we will learn about some of the hypotheses of his death and why its main characteristic was the deployment of violence and the terrorism of the Medellin cartel, headed by Pablo Escobar.
Comuna13
  • 1h
Medellín resisted violence thanks to the confluence of individual actions and that is what we will find in our last visit site, commune 13, where this area of our city has always found ways to resist the attempts of domination and control of the different armed groups. Actions of resistance through art, music, coexistence and institutional responses that allowed finding solutions to moments of crisis. Comuna 13 is an example for other cities in the world that live what they lived in past times, their resilience and drive as good paisas helped turn a dark page and gave way to important social projects such as escalators and their famous graffiti tour.
