He picked us up from our Airbnb in a comfortable car, aloud us to tap into his wifi, he also was extremely knowledgeable of the Columbian culture in different areas, gave us a run down of the history of Pablo Escobar, and that was before we even got to the actual excursion. Let me say that the property is absolutely stunning. I'll let you see it for yourself because words won't do it justice. We rode ATVs around the property with brief stops here and there…”
