These guided tours around Medellin, where you can visit several places linked with the life of Pablo Escobar, the drug cartel leader who was known by the name of the city. A fragment of the note:

In an English mixed with paisa (local accent), an enthusiastic guide to the travel company “Medellin Experience” begins the nine-hour journey through the bowels of the places that marked the life of the big boss, considered at the time by the Forbes magazine as one of the ten richest men on the planet. The tour costs $ 139 per person and includes transportation from the hotel, guide service, snacks, lunch and medical card

The complete tour takes nine hours, according to the chronicler, is done almost exclusively by foreigners, which is not surprising if we check the price in dollars.

The narcotour is part of a long-established trend in the travel market: the” Touristification “of political events, police or military, which are formalized in terms of travel and places invested with a certain profound symbolic value. In line with the tours to the favelas in Rio de Janeiro, to the villages in Buenos Aires or the killing fields in Cambodia, can not be seen in these types of developments the way in which the “experience” today is one of the most cherished values of tourism and everyday life. Of course, it would be an interesting task to analyze how these experiences are built and from which we can analyze them. There are interesting points on concepts such as “aesthetic reflexivity,” which pose Scott Lash and John Urry in their book Economies of Signs and Spaces, can be a nice introduction to an analysis that goes beyond the merely casuistic.
