Highlights
Just a few years ago, the Comuna 13 neighborhood was the most dangerous community in the city of Medellín, but today it is the most colorful and vibrant community in the city. After the government and private sector invested in social and youth programs, local residents and artists took back the neighborhoods and contributed to the miraculous transformation we see today, the streets were filled with incredible works of street art, music, street artists, and delicious local snacks. A great opportunity to explore the lively streets of Comuna 13 while meeting local residents and artists, a unique cultural and memorable experience. Get to know the relationship between the criminal groups, violent past with the new generation, the overcoming of a civil war and a new hope for the community.

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 .
