Welcome to our Comuna 13 in Medellin. A place that, due to its location, had become the most dangerous sector in the world. Give us the opportunity to tell you what really happened in this area, and why illegal groups were established in Comuna 13, which was the reason for the armed conflict in the most dangerous place in the world.
