About Expediente Medellín
This route is not designed to glorify Pablo Escobar. Its purpose is to understand a period that deeply affected Medellín and examine the different ways the city remembers, debates and has transformed since then.
The route uses an investigation folder with a timeline, historical photographs, questions, audio and evidence to compare before, during and after. Travelers are not given a prefabricated conclusion; they build their own verdict from the context.
