Overview

Back in the early 1990s, Medellín was considered the most dangerous city in the world. Pablo Escobar and the “Cartel of Medellín” controlled vast parts of the international cocaine traffic. Thus, the reign of “El Patrón” came to its end and just a few years later Medellín began to change when local politicians started to invest heavily in infrastructure and public education.
