Pablo Escobar tour in Medellin, Colombia

Updated: Jul 25, 2023

(❗Please note that this was a museum tour owned by Escobar’s relatives, not all information here may be proven true as people say.) Recently I visited the city of eternal spring in Colombia, and I passed by Pablo Escobar’s tour. This exhibit was about one of the most well-known criminals in history.

Other than stealing, delivering illegal drugs, and multiple other crimes he was known to have committed, there were interesting things to know from this tour.


Plane used to transport drugs

Many people know that he started from stealing and selling tombstones as a teen, to smuggling his substances for a cash-grabbing business, through many different vehicles and routes. But he actually started with a small, single-engine plane, transporting drugs from Ecuador.

As he was moving on with his crime, so-called El Patrón also enjoyed motorsports racing and football. However though, he invested in football fields and communities to benefit his narco business, according to many sources.

Another thing I saw was that he used a motorbike painted half red and half black on the sides to go rob a bank, and confuse witnesses on what color was the motorbike, according to the museum.

One last claim from this museum was that Escobar wrote a cartoon strip book while in prison. It's about what they say is the truth behind Escobar, against the government, and was given to people who visited him. When I was there, they had a few books left for sale in 10,000 USD each one. A lot things made this man crazy!
