GUATAPE, COLOMBIA - MAY 3: general view of La Manuela, the lakeside mansion of drug lord Pablo Escobar in Guatape, Colombia on May 3, 2023. The estate, which served as one of the main headquarters of Escobar's drug empire, was seized by the Colombian government in the late 1990s as part of their efforts to crack down on drug trafficking. However, the estate's fate took a dark turn in 1993 when it was burned down by the rival drug gang PEPES (People Persecuted by Pablo Escobar), who sought to erase all traces of Escobar's legacy. As a result, the estate has been left in ruins ever since, with only a few scattered remnants of its former grandeur still visible. ( Juancho Torres - Anadolu Agency )
