La Manuela Estate, Pablo Escobar's Property Day Trip
Description
Join us on an exciting day trip to La Manuela Estate from Medellín, where we'll explore one of Pablo Escobar's notable estates situated by the Guatapé reservoir. Get ready to uncover the historical significance of his presence in the Antioquia region.
Details of the Day Trip
We'll gather at the designated meeting point selected during your booking and depart from Medellín to embark on this enriching excursion to Guatapé. Are you prepared? Let’s set off!
En route, we'll pause to savor a delightful local snack from the Antioquia region at the Chocho farm or another nearby venue. Following this break, our journey continues to the vibrant village of Guatapé, where a fulfilling lunch featuring traditional Colombian fare awaits us.
Once we’re replenished and energized, we’ll embark on a scenic 20-minute boat ride across the Guatapé Reservoir, enhanced by onboard music. During our ride, we'll view the cross that honors the submerged old town of El Peñol and glide past the El Peñol House Museum, celebrating its former residents. Look out for stunning homes of notable Colombians and take in breathtaking views of the renowned Piedra del Peñol from the water—a truly captivating experience!
After the boat ride, we will dock at the entrance of La Manuela estate, once one of Pablo Escobar’s most well-known residences, nestled along the Guatapé Reservoir's shore. Our tour commences with insights into the estate’s construction in the late 1980s, intended as a gift for his daughter.
As we explore the premises, we’ll recount various stories and anecdotes that shed light on the estate’s influence on the Antioquia area.
You will also receive access to La Manuela's main house, where a guided tour will take you through the primary building, including Pablo Escobar's former bedroom and the bunkers.
After this, you will have free time to further discover the estate at your leisure. If you wish, take a refreshing dip in Pablo Escobar's swimming pool, offering excellent views of the reservoir, or engage in some of the adventure activities available on-site.
In conclusion, we will return to the pickup point, wrapping up a comprehensive 10-hour experience.
