Itinerary
Hi! I am Sara and I want to invite you to discover in the company of a local guide, both the most authentic part of the neighborhood, with its stairs, alleys and daily life, and the most touristic area, full of colorful murals that narrate the identity of the 13th Commune of Medellin. Our guides will not only show you the neighborhood, but will tell you their own story and that of their families, marked by difficult years of violence and armed conflict and you will witness how Commune 13 became a symbol of resilience, culture and hope, thanks to social transformation through urban art, development projects and community union.
During the tour you will also discover: •Dance and improvisational street shows (optional) •The possibility of making your own graffiti •The tour of the escalators and viewpoints with panoramic views of Medellin •Urban and neon art galleries and souvenir shops •The traditional ice creams of Commune 13 (mango biche, maracumango) and local cuisine At the end of the tour, you can continue exploring the area on your own if you wish. IMPORTANT: It does NOT include visits to points such as Christ, Pachamama, Gorilla, etc., as they are paying viewpoints, with high costs and long lines.

About Medellín
Medellín is Colombia's spring-like city in the Andes, known for its cable cars, vibrant neighbourhoods and remarkable story of transformation.
The city fills a long Andean valley, with brick houses climbing the slopes and a climate mild enough to earn it the name City of Eternal Spring. Its metro and Metrocable cable cars link hillside communities to the centre and give sweeping views on the ride up toward the forests of Parque Arví.
Top-ranked sights in Medellín: Guatapé (Pueblo de Zócalos), Plaza Botero, Pueblito Paisa .
