The tour guide concluded with that  there is more business now than during Colombia’s 50 years violence when 100s of thousands of people were killed every year. The seat of global distribution has been shifted to Mexico, where a violent era is in progress.

His was the only grave in this strict, private cemetary allowed special concessions of his favorite Miami palms and decorative rocks.
