Itinerary

  • Medellin

    Start your journey with hotel pick-up in a comfortable air-conditioned minivan, heading to the heart of Medellin’s history. This tour is not the typical Pablo Escobar tour. Instead, it offers a fresh perspective, grounded in real facts and context. Understand how the narcotrafficking era emerged, how it continues to affect Colombia today, and the incredible resilience and social transformation that has helped Medellin heal.

    1 hour

  • Museo Casa de la Memoria

    Next, take the cable car to Comuna 8 and ride the tram to the Museum of Memory, an institution dedicated to telling the true story of Colombia’s past. Interactive exhibits give you insight into the impacts of narcotrafficking on Colombian society, revealing stories of struggle and resilience from multiple voices.

    1 hour

  • Parque Memorial Inflexion

    Explore significant landmarks such as the Parque de la Inflexion, which stands as a memorial to the victims of the narco wars. Walk through the neighborhood, visiting stops that highlight different perspectives of Medellin's transformation. From El Pinal to Ayacucho, you’ll experience how Medellin has become internationally known for its social renewal and ongoing efforts to combat the effects of its violent past.

It's complicated, and no visitor to Medellin should miss this tour!

Published on Apr, 2024

It was incredibly refreshing to learn so much about Medellin's complicated history and the importance of different perspectives and so many human stories. Thanks to our outstanding guide, Carolina, we really appreciated the opportunity to unpack the word "victim", how its meaning transcends far beyond those who were killed or injured and why it also stretches to include such things as irreparable damage to land and extinction of certain bird and insect species. This tour was also filled with so much that is so positive and regenerative. Two examples I loved: the cable car system that makes it possible for those who live in the hills to navigate with relative ease and far less time getting to and from the center of Medellin for work, medical services and other resources not found as easily near their homes. Carolina also took us to see and spend time in a BiblioMetro, (Medellin now has six)-- facilities for people of all ages to use: library and computer stations and related resources; play activities; relaxing moments before continuing home; after school space for children waiting for their parents to pick them up after work, etc. Carolina was a fantastic guide every step of the way. She is so so knowledgeable and well prepared. She is so passionate about her city, her country, her own journey. She is everything that one hopes for with a guide. Her knowledge, facilitation and emotions resonated with us. Carolina and this tour is one that we will always remember and for which we are grateful. Thank you Carolina and Impulse Travel!

We all need to learn about the history - local Colombians too

Published on Nov, 2023

Carolina was an excellent guide and gave us lots of personal family stories. Firstly we stopped at the memorial park, then in Communa 8 and finally the museum of memories. No it’s not an easy tour, but one which needs to be heard. So please book it whilst you’re in Medellin. Very different to anything else you’ll do here.

Great experience
