Pablo Escobar tour and comuna 13
This is private tour, thus the best chance to take two of the most exciting tours in Medellin, for those travelers who have limited time: First, we focus on discussing different points of view around the country and the problems related to drug trafficking. Our purpose is the understanding of such scourge and its impact in our country, as well as the process the city has gone through in order to become an innovative and safer city. We do not glorify Pablo nor treat him as a hero, we simply seek to understand the political, social and economic context of that time. Secondly,we visit comuna 13, the sample of strength and resilience of Medellin inhabitants. The city hall has implemented certain programs that have significantly improved living standards. You will learn about the history of our city, with its positive and negative aspects, you will discover the transformation of Medellín.
