Monasterio Santa Gertrudis La Magna
We will visit the public areas of La Catedral. From there, we will show you the cells, the nightclub, the halls of the old prison, the guard tower, the tunnel areas, the former soccer field, and Escobar's escape route. We will also show you the area where, according to some sources, a mass grave and a cocaine lab were located. We will explain the events that took place in these locations.
According to local regulations, access to some areas may be restricted without prior notice, but it will always be possible to stop and walk through the areas of the old prison (now in ruins) that are open to the public. Some of these areas have been reconstructed to date.
Some photos added by users show close-ups of the cells, the helipad, the escape route, the interior of the nightclub, the guard tower, etc. However, since June 2025, authorities no longer allow walking through these areas.
