Included were Jorge Luis Ochoa V\u00e1squez, Fabio Ochoa V\u00e1squez, Juan David Ochoa V\u00e1squez, Jos\u00e9 Gonzalo Rodr\u00edguez Gacha and Carlos Lehder. Escobar's main partner in the organization however was his cousin Gustavo Gaviria who handled much of the cartel's shipping arrangements and the more general and detailed logistical aspects of the cocaine trafficking routes and international smuggling networks which were supplying at least 80% of the world's cocaine during its peak. Gustavo, also known as Le\u00f3n seems to have also had a strong hand in the cartel's unprecedented acts of narcoterrorism, right alongside his cousin Pablo and was considered to be second in command of the cartel and therefore one of Colombia's most wanted men, with both him and Escobar having arrest warrants pending from other nations where their criminal activity had spread to, such as in Spain and the U.S. Meanwhile, Pablo Escobar's brother Roberto Escobar acted as the organization's accountant. The cartel operated from 1976 to 1993 in Colombia (Antioquia), Bolivia, Panama, Central America, Peru, the Bahamas, the United States, as well as in Canada.","day_image":"cef964ba-9e78-4eb6-6792-6edecb587300","address":"","latitude":null,"longitude":null,"wiki_latitude":null,"wiki_longitude":null,"place_id":"8b6bc56a77f706e244350031ae8d06d4","order":0,"tour_ids":"850895","order_tours":{"850895":0},"colors":["#6464d8"],"posts_title":[{"title":"Free Violence & Conflict Tour Medellin","id":850895}]},{"title":"Handmade ice cream","wiki_title":"Ice cream","description":null,"wiki_description":"Ice cream is a frozen dessert typically made from milk or cream that has been flavoured with a sweetener, either sugar or an alternative, and a spice, such as cocoa or vanilla, or with fruit, such as strawberries or peaches.
