Juan's Comuna 13 tour was one of the highlights of our trip. There were so many things we loved about the tour. First is Juan himself. He was a wealth of information and helped us understand the history of the district and talked about the amazing graffiti on display. He also cares so much about the community which you can see through his interaction with the people there. Part of the money he earns goes directly back into the community. Then there is the beer. If you are a beer lover this is the tour for you. You can see that the craft beer scene is growing and Juan is playing a big part in that. He has set up a couple bars in the area and displays his own brand C13 along with others brands from medellin. And the beers were delicious and full of flavour. We sampled a bunch of beers and walking around drinking a beer made it much more fun. Because he is so into the craft beer scene it made it very enjoyable talking beer with him too. His bars also act as a cafe where he served delicious coffee. Like with beer he is very passionate about his coffee and is trying to promote local brands. He has various beans for sale for a very reasonable price and knowing that part of the sale goes back to the community makes it worth the purchase. If you are in Medellin, doing a comuna 13 tour is a must. If you are into craft beer and coffee then this is the tour for you. Thank you for the great experience!
