Welcome back to the Animal Cargo community!

In this video, we experience an unforgettable double adventure: we complete a complex logistical mission transporting seven cats from Miami to Medellín (with a critical layover and a lot of paperwork in Mexico), and then we venture into the Magdalena Medio region to explore the legendary and controversial Hacienda Nápoles, the most extravagant estate built by Pablo Escobar.

Discover the secrets behind this immense property of over 3,000 hectares: its former clandestine airstrip, the remnants of the Medellín Cartel, the history of the private zoo, and the current ecological crisis caused by Escobar's hippos that now roam the region. We also show you the real behind-the-scenes experience of traveling with pets by plane, the security checks, and all the work our team does to get them safely back to their families.

Join us on this unique journey filled with anecdotes, typical Antioquian cuisine, tourism, and international animal transport!
