Itinerary
Tour focuses on the victims by telling stories of those who suffer most, like police officers and government officials. Since there is no glorification, at the end you will understand how resilient the people from Medellin have been. In fact, it is the most innovative city. Tour departs from your hotel in Medellin so it drives by main Medellin areas depending on your hotel location. It takes less than 3 hours to arrive at Napoles on a crowded day.
Enter one of Pablo's most valued properties just a couple of hours away from Medellin. Not only you'll be able to take photos at the main entrance gate, but you will also see all the various animals that Pablo imported from Africa. Ticket is included so you can enjoy this huge zoo located on a warm area where there is enough free time to walk around and appreciate wildlife such as hippos, giraffes, reptiles, and many more. There are cafeterias so you can bring colombian pesos since not every place takes USD cash (meals not included). Your private bilingual guide will be escorting you all the way from the very beginning and even inside the Napoles park so that you can steer the tour around according to your preferences. There is plenty of time until 5 pm in order to take advantage of all the attractions and take photos around the iconic hacienda. Finally, tour takes you back to Medellin city where you are able to spot places around the city depending on your location.

Amazing experience, Alex picked us up on time and we had an amazing experience on the drive there followed by a tour of the estate which is now a zoo and amusement park
Daniel was a really great guide! The drive is beautiful but windy so be careful if you get car sickness. There are water parks and animals to see, but apart from the museum set up in part of his old house, there’s not much left from the Escobar era. At least not in ways we were hoping for, but we enjoyed the experience and would recommend.
Daniel was a good guide and had excellent english. Shame the place has turned into more of a theme park then a look into the past of Pablo Escobar!
What a great day trip from Medellin! The park itself is fairly standard fair for a zoo, but it also includes a very large water park and entertainment areas (rides, etc). But what made this a great trip was learning the history of the park, Pablo Escobar, the region, (and more!) from our guide, Daniel. In addition to being a wealth of knowledge, he was also extremely friendly and accommodating. For those worried about animals that are locked up - most of the animals there are rescues from previous zoos, circus', etc. Also, the size of the wild iguanas roaming about make me believe in dragons! lol ***Note, it is a bit warmer up there than in Medellin, so be prepared!
Our guide Daniel, was quick to remedy initial issues with language correspondence. He was very knowledgeable and happy to take the time to explain all. His pleasant friendly demeanour added to a very enjoyable day. We experienced all we aimed due to the professional, friendly approach by Daniel.
Roberto was extremely attentive and helpful. Respectful on time for everything he extremely knowledgeable about our tours .. I would recommend him for who ever needs a guide tour… Thank you
Ivan Builes was our guide and he was amazing. He was friendly and had a nice vehicle which is important since it’s a 3 hour drive each way from Medellin. The Hacienda is not worth the trip its self right now. It’s under a bunch of construction. In about a year the place will be amazing. They are building roller coasters and other attractions. We did not do the water park.
Fantastic trip with David. We also did two day Escobar + Guatapé tour with him, and he went out of his way to have us prepared for what to expect on each day… Especially important for the Hacienda Nápoles trip, where he told us in advance what to expect, like knowing how little of Escobar remains at the Hacienda Nápoles to not be disappointed if you’re expecting to see the house etc, and to be prepared for the heat! He shared a ton of knowledge throughout the tours, and was especially good with explaining everything both in English and Spanish since my Spanish isn’t perfect and my girlfriend’s English is the same. He’s great with customizing the tour on the fly , from making sure you see what you’re most interested in to finding food that fits your taste. Great tour, well worth the added cost of the private tour.
We were picked up promptly. David gave us many options to tailor the tour to our liking. Very personable with great knowledge and excellent English and Spanish. Highly recommend this tour!!
The whole 2 days where amazing, and must of the tour success was because of the knowledge of our tour guide David he took us to the right places at the right time making my family happy the whole time we where receiving the tour, we strongly recommend the service to anybody who wants a real Medellin experience
The experience was incredible. The guide had a lot of knowledge about everything (Esteban). I definitely recommend the tour with him!
The drive to Napoles was amazing. Daniel our driver and guide was incredible. Napoles is a magical place. The only thing was that the van we were driven on had lots of roaches and that made us feel uncomfortable.
We had an excellent tour. David was very informative and we weren't bored at all during the 6 hour drive back and forth. We stopped for light snacks and later for lunch. The tour was well worth it to see the park, and learn about the dark history of Hacienda Napoles.
We were being picked up at 8am, so took it easy the night before to be up and ready for this. No pickup at 8 and no contact. The hotel contacted the tour operator and they basically just said we’re not running it because the traffic is bad today due to something happening in the city. We had no contact from the tour operator until around 1am I think.
wonderful experience to learn of history and enjoy nature. This region is full of diversity and is one of the best places to visit.
It was amazing the driver and your guide was extremely kind and helped me everything I needed I highly recommend using this man . It was phenomenal
its a great experience and people just need to know or remember its very little about Pablo Escobar but every thing in the park is great.
The tour guide was excellent very knowledgeable and friendly. P up was on time and he did an awesome job explaining Columbia.
Hello All! I had a wonderful experience on this tour. It does take about 12 hours to complete as Hacienda Napoles is 3-5 hours drive depending on traffic. Juan was incredible. His Spanish and English were perfect and he was super pleasant and hospitable. He picked us up directly at our hotel and delivered excellent commentary and history the entire way. The vehicle was modern and very comfortable for the long trek back and forth. If you are at all interested in Pablo and his life, I recommend this tour. Worth the money and time. Don't forget Pablo's Zoo and waterpark! Thanks again.
It was great to see everything they have at this place now. All the animals and museum were great. We really enjoyed it. Our personal guide Mateo was excellent! He picked us up at our hotel and is an excellent driver in this Colombian traffic. Got us there and back quickly and safely. He was very knowledgeable and kind.
Beautiful trip! Is far but is worth it. Juan was excellent and he explained everything to perfection. Very friendly guide.
Andreas was. Great person and help us out very well. Truly appreciate his service. I appreciate the great work
Julio was a great tour guide. He took very where we wanted. He made the same it all fun be knew exactly where and what we should to get our best experience.
A such great tour, it was very interesting and a very good guide - Camilo A, and enough time to experience everything!
Great guide, really good english, lots of info and pretty comfortable transportation. Guide was on time, really friendly, and totally recommend.
greetings, I made the trip to Hacienda Napoles starting from Cali, a fairly extensive journey, in which I passed through Armenia, Calarca, La Línea, Ibague Armero, Honda, Mariquita, Dorada, Doral. The town where the Hacienda Napoles is located is too full of commerce, restaurants, the Medellin-Bogota road runs through it, so it is normal for it to have a lot of traffic, especially on weekends. In my experience, it is recommended to be at Hacienda Napoles at 08:00 am because the route is very long, inside the park the drinks are somewhat expensive, and it is necessary to be very hydrated, buy a Styrofoam cooler and fill it with ice and transport it there. drinks
Nos encantó el tour, el guía turístico David muy amable y atento. Nos hizo recomendaciones fuera del tour, de cultura y de gastronomía. 100% recomendado.

A beautiful day, interesting, exciting, instructor in the company of a lovely, efficient, cultivated and very cheerful guide. Really a good day because of him. The only problem: I think more than 300 euros for this single day is too expensive
La hacienda ha destruido cualquier resto de la historia q representa. Ha día de hoy es casi un parque infantil. Y el viaje se hace larguísimo
