Tour description

As some history tellers of the city of Medellín we offer a wonderful tour of commune 13 where we will walk through different neighborhoods in the area which were previously so affected by violence (illegal armed groups outside the law).
 We will talk about the different military operations that were carried out in this place with the objective of getting the guerrilla groups out of the area , such as the Orion operation which was carried out in 2002 which hit this sector hard.
We will go through different street art freestyle shows, escalators, you will know why and why they were made and which are also part of a transformation, like culture and art. If your idea of the perfect vacation includes learning about other experiences and interacting with locals; then look no further and stay with this exciting Tour, we take care of all the details just come and have fun!

Yuliana is a perfect guide! I can recommend her highly!!! She is a part of the Comuna 13 and she as born there. She lives in Comuna 13 with her family. Nobody can better explain what kind of fear and traumatic experiences the people have been suffering. She is very proud about a foundation there which is helping teenagers to find a way out of their situation. Booking a tour with Medallo Tours is the best thing to hear backstage storys what was really going on in that time and at the sss as me time you are supporting the future of people living there!!!

El tour a la Comuna 13 guiado por Yuliana fue excelente. Yuliana nos esperó puntualmente en el lugar acordado. Nos recibió con una cordial bienvenida y nos hizo sentir seguras y en confianza. Visitamos lugares interesantes y de mucha historia. Nos explico cada rincón en el que paramos. Nos compartió como era la vida en la comuna cuando ella era pequeña e hizo el contraste de como se vive actualmente allí. Gracias Yuliana por abrir las puertas de tu comuna al mundo y permitir ver la realidad de otro punto de vista. ¡Adelante!
