Medellín Transformation Tour

BEFORE / ATFER PABLO ESCOBAR

Explore Medellín’s transformation through a historical and reflective experience that offers insight into one of the city’s most complex chapters and the profound changes that followed.

 

This tour visits symbolic sites such as Montesacro Cemetery and the Park of Reflection, formerly the Monaco Building, now redefined as a space for collective memory and contemplation on the impact of violence. Along the route, participants learn about neighborhoods shaped by urban interventions from that period, examining their social, architectural, and community impact, as well as the transformation processes that emerged in the years that followed.

 

An optional visit to the Private Museum of the Escobar Family provides a more personal perspective on that era. Beyond historical facts, this experience highlights how Medellín significantly reduced violence, promoted social innovation, strengthened community initiatives, and transformed spaces once associated with fear into places of memory and renewal. Rather than glorifying the past, the tour offers a thoughtful and respectful narrative that emphasizes resilience, urban transformation, and the city’s ability to reinvent itself through culture, education, and inclusive development.
