Overview

welcome to Medellín!

My name is Sara and I invite you to live a great experience in the commune 13 of Medellin, in the company of a local guide.

Our guides will tell you about their experiences in that period of terror for them and their families, who witnessed the cruelty of the clashes between the different armed groups. You will witness the social transformation through urban art.

We will find in the tour artistic murals with historical significance told by your guide, street shows, (dances and improvisation) you can make your own graffiti, you will climb to the viewpoint, through the escalators from where you can see much of the commune 13 and Medellin. We will go into the alleys and quiet stairways, leaving aside the touristy and enjoying yourself as if you were a local.

You will also find urban art galleries, souvenir sales, the traditional ice cream of Comuna 13 (mango, biche and maracumango), typical gastronomy and much more.

At the end of the tour, if you wish you can continue exploring more of the Comuna on your own or our guide will accompany you back to the transportation.

“Tour of commune 13”
I took the tour with Mirley, an excellent guide. A person who has lived the history of the commune and tells it with a lot of emotion and dedication, which makes you empathize with its history. Very good tour, very good guide. The history is very interesting and the touristic atmosphere was entertaining. Thank you!
