About this Event
We do not advocate crime
We believe that the phenomenon of Pablo Escobar and the Medellín Cartel should not be hidden, but understood!
Uncensored
We assume an independent journalistic approach, without limiting ourselves to the official versions, nor to the feelings and particular interests of people close to the head of the Medellín Cartel.
We do not praise crime
We analyze the history and reflect on the causes, context and consequences of drug trafficking, violence and corruption in Colombia.
We seek objectivity
We address different views and versions to identify the lessons that should be learned from drug trafficking and the narco-war, with objectivity and neutrality.
100% native and local guides, guaranteed!
In Medellín de Cerca we believe that Pablo Escobar tours imply a great responsibility towards the tourist and towards our society. Our private tours are conducted only by native and local guides who lived through the time of the Cartel and have studied it rigorously.
Join other tourists and take part of an informative and educational tour about the complexity of Colombian society, the emergence of Pablo Escobar and the Medellín Cartel.
