Overview

This tour neither praises nor promotes 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 shaped Escobar's life, learn about key anecdotes and historical moments, and understand the drug phenomenon objectively and neutrally, as if you were making a documentary. Our agency uses the approach and techniques of journalism.

This tour allows you to analyze history and reflect on drug trafficking, violence, and corruption in Colombia. We use an independent journalistic approach, not limited to media bias, censorship by authorities, or the personal feelings of those closest to the leader of the Medellín Cartel.
