Overview
My name is Sara and I invite you to live a great experience in the touristic and non-touristic part of the Comuna 13 of Medellin, accompanied by a local guide.
Our guides will share with you their history and that of their families, in that time of violence with the different armed groups and at the end, you will witness how social transformation was achieved, through urban art (Hip Hop culture).
You will get to know the authentic part (NOT touristy of stairs and quiet alleys) and the touristy with artistic murals, explained by your guide, street shows, (dances and improvisation) you will be able to make your own graffiti, you will go up to the viewpoint, by means of the escalators from where you will enjoy a great view.
