This tour combines a deep dive into Colombia’s world-renowned coffee culture with a journey through key historical sites linked to Pablo Escobar, offering a well-rounded and immersive experience.

Start your adventure with a visit to a traditional Colombian coffee farm, where you’ll learn about the intricate process behind producing high-quality Colombian coffee—from planting and harvesting the beans to drying, roasting, and brewing. You’ll have the opportunity to see the coffee plants up close, understand the care and precision that goes into each step, and even participate in some of the activities yourself. The tour includes a guided tasting session where you can enjoy an exceptional cup of freshly brewed coffee, taking in the rich flavors and aromas right at the source, all while surrounded by the beautiful landscapes of the Antioquian countryside.

After enjoying the coffee experience, the tour transitions into the history of Medellín’s darker past with a visit to the infamous La Catedral prison. This was the luxury prison where Pablo Escobar was held for 13 months, a place that played a significant role in the history of Medellín. Your guide will share stories about the time Escobar spent here, how he continued to manage his empire from inside the prison, and the events that led to his eventual escape. From this unique vantage point, you’ll enjoy one of the most stunning panoramic views of Medellín, offering a striking contrast between the city’s past and its present transformation.

The tour concludes with a visit to the cemetery where Escobar is buried, providing a somber reflection on the legacy of the drug lord and the impact of his actions on Colombia. Alongside Escobar’s grave, you’ll also find the final resting place of Griselda Blanco, known as the “Black Widow,” and Gustavo Gaviria, Escobar’s cousin and key figure in his organization. This part of the tour offers a respectful opportunity to discuss the historical significance of these figures while considering the broader narrative of Medellín’s recovery and resilience.
