The story of Pablo Escobar told by someone who lived through Medellín's dark past: his family's museum, the graves of Escobar, Gonzalo Gaviria and Griselda Blanco, the rooftop where he died and the different versions of it, and Inflexión Park, the memorial to the cartel's victims. With a beer or water along the way.

Dear Colombia,

Alejandro was an excellent guide. He told us the whole story of Pablo in detail, following the timeline from his birth to his death. We highly recommend it and are grateful he shared his personal experiences of that era. (Translated from Spanish)
