About This Tour
This is not another Escobar selfie tour. This is a respecful tour with unique perspectives on the matter. Yes, we talk about him — but this experience goes far beyond. Beyond Escobar shifts the spotlight from the man to the system: from myth to context, from glorification to understanding. This walking tour explores the natural, historical and economic forces that shaped Medellín’s and Colombia's recent history — beginning with ancient traditions and tracing their transformation into a worldwide phenomenon with lasting social impact. Discover untold stories, gain fresh perspectives, and see how local events became part of a global narrative. Thought-provoking and deeply researched, Beyond Escobar is about history, economics, and the human cost of a complex chapter in Colombia’s past — without glorifying crime, and always keeping victims at the center.
