Comuna 13:Graffiti Tour, History, and Hidden Gems with a Local Guide

Hello!

My name is Sara, and I’d like to invite you to discover—alongside a local guide—both the most authentic part of the neighborhood, with its stairways, alleyways, and everyday life, and the more touristy area, filled with colorful murals that tell the story of our community’s identity.

Our guides will not only show you the neighborhood but also share their own stories and those of their families—stories shaped by difficult years of violence and armed conflict. You’ll witness how we’ve become a symbol of resilience, culture, and hope today, thanks to social transformation through urban art, Development projects, and community unity.

During the tour, you’ll also discover:

• Street dance and improv shows (optional)
  
• The chance to create your own graffiti
  
• A walk along the escalators and to the observation deck with panoramic views of Medellín
  
• Urban art and neon galleries, as well as souvenir shops
  
• Traditional Comuna 13 ice creams (mango biche, maracumango) and local cuisine
  

At the end of the tour, you can continue exploring the area on your own.

IMPORTANT: This tour does NOT include visits to Cristo, Pachamama, Gorila, etc., as these are observation decks with high admission fees and long lines.
