The Pablo Escobar Cathedral tour leads you through the ruins of a once infamous prison that has been transformed into a monastery and a nursing home. This iconic spot, where the unthinkable unfolded, was where the notorious Pablo Escobar once served his time. Nestled an hour away from Medellin in El Valle de la Miel, this historic structure is tucked away on the hilly edges of Envigado, surrounded by substantial sections of native woodland. This site is also known as the escape route that the drug kingpin took to evade extradition to the United States, and where he mustered his personal forces to fend off attempts on his life. While labeled a prison, the Cathedral was more akin to a lavish mansion, hosting famed personalities including politicians, beauty queens, drug barons and even the Colombian soccer teams, Independiente Medellin and Atletico Nacional.
