    Fun day!

    Daniel was a really great guide! The drive is beautiful but windy so be careful if you get car sickness. There are water parks and animals to see, but apart from the museum set up in part of his old house, there’s not much left from the Escobar era. At least not in ways we were hoping for, but we enjoyed the experience and would recommend.

    Response from the operator: Dear Gea_A, Thank you so much for recommending, we love to see you enjoyed the day with your private bilingual guide at Napoles hacienda. Please let us assist again soon! Sincerely, Camilo Uribe Medellin City Services®

    Worth a visit

    Daniel was a good guide and had excellent english. Shame the place has turned into more of a theme park then a look into the past of Pablo Escobar!

    Response from the operator: Dear Shiv P, Many thanks for sharing, great to know you have enjoyed the day with your private guide. In deed, the them park has evolved to get rid of those dark Escobar days. It will be awesome to have you join us on another experience around Medellin. Look forward to your soon return!

    The Park from Pablo - Do it!

    What a great day trip from Medellin! The park itself is fairly standard fair for a zoo, but it also includes a very large water park and entertainment areas (rides, etc). But what made this a great trip was learning the history of the park, Pablo Escobar, the region, (and more!) from our guide, Daniel. In addition to being a wealth of knowledge, he was also extremely friendly and accommodating. For those worried about animals that are locked up - most of the animals there are rescues from previous zoos, circus', etc. Also, the size of the wild iguanas roaming about make me believe in dragons! lol ***Note, it is a bit warmer up there than in Medellin, so be prepared!

    Response from the operator: Dear thomaswQ7265HS, Thanks for these words, it´s great to know you have totally. enjoyed this experience with your private bilingual guide learning so much. Will be an honor to assist again soon. Feel free to use promo code MCS and save 10% on future bookings. Sincerely, Camilo Uribe Medellin City Services®

    Pablo Escobar Hacienda Napoles Private Full Day Tour w/transport: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.

    How much does Pablo Escobar Hacienda Napoles Private Full Day Tour w/transport cost?

    +

    Prices start at $284 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Medellín usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Pablo Escobar Hacienda Napoles Private Full Day Tour w/transport take?

    +

    Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Medellín is not rushed.

    Is Pablo Escobar Hacienda Napoles Private Full Day Tour w/transport worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Medellín, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Pablo Escobar Hacienda Napoles Private Full Day Tour w/transport?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Pablo Escobar Hacienda Napoles Private Full Day Tour w/transport suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Pablo Escobar Hacienda Napoles Private Full Day Tour w/transport?

    +

    Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Medellín can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Medellín and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Pablo Escobar Hacienda Napoles Private Full Day Tour w/transport start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Medellín within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Medellín?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Medellín experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guatapé Tour: Piedra del Peñol with Boat Tour, Breakfast, Lunch, Half Day Bike Tour in Medellin - Local snack, Coffee or Beer, Guided Tour of Comuna 13 Medellín with Snacks Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Medellín?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Medellín?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Pablo Escobar Hacienda Napoles Private Full Day Tour w/transport?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; National Park fees; Driver/guide; and Entrance with standard Salvage passport. Not included: Meals (available to purchase); Gratuities; Dinner (available to purchase); and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    What happens to Pablo Escobar Hacienda Napoles Private Full Day Tour w/transport if the weather is bad?
