Highlights
Skip the typical Comuna 13 routes and discover its hidden soul with local storytellers who grew up in the neighborhood. Walk secret paths far from the crowds, explore colorful alleys, and hear powerful stories of Colombia’s political and social history — all told through the lived experience of this resilient community. Along the way, enjoy street art, local snacks, music, and spontaneous encounters. The journey ends with a rooftop ritual: a peaceful moment to relax, reflect, or experience something unique, like creative expression or a brief reflexology (foot massage) session. What truly sets us apart? A portion of each booking funds Wayacan Art Walls, our initiative to support community-led murals and cultural projects. So far, we've co-created three large-scale pieces — and more are coming. This is not just a graffiti tour. It’s an unplugged experience of Comuna 13’s spirit, struggles, and hope.

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 .
