Lots of new details and standing before his tomb

Adriana showed me some incredible sights like Pablo’s tomb, the Monoco building remains, the stones dedicated to Cesar Gaviria/Luis Carlos Galán, and the football stadium. Lots of interesting details not seen in Narcos or even Pablo Escobar el Patron del Mal or his son’s book, particularly around Pablo’s death.
