It doesn’t get a blog, no. This is where you can see a few of Escobar’s vintage cars parked outside. These are all, like, burnt out and riddled with bullet holes. And inside the remains of the mansion is a museum commemorating some of the journalists and politicians Escobar had killed. It’s meant to sort of be an anti-crime museum. This is partially an effort by the government to make sure that the life of a narco trafficker isn’t glorified because with shows like Narcos that really show the glamor of the drug trade, the government’s actively working against that. It’s definitely a weird juxtaposition with the pink hippo in a tutu. But I think it’d be equally weird if they just didn’t acknowledge Escobar at all. 

Right. 

It’s a pretty tricky line to walk, but the park really isn’t meant to be Escobar-themed. It’s just a theme park on what used to be Escobar’s land. 

Wow.
