What a cool tour🫶🏾

We started our tour at 8:30 am, Adri and Alejo, our fabulous guide and driver accompanied us throughout the entire tour, taking photos of us and always providing personalized attention, showing the experience they have in managing large groups. It is an all-day tour (12hr) so I recommend wearing comfortable clothing and suitable footwear (sneakers or comfortable sandals), especially if you intend to climb El Peñol! Once at El Peñol, I found a museum that pays tribute to Pablo Escobar, run by his nephew and with unique pieces, I recommend it 100%.
