Full description

Discover Medellín's Comuna 13 district on a guided tour with a local. Enjoy stunning views of the city from a cable car, learn about the local street artists, and hear how this formerly dangerous area has evolved.

Meet your guide in the metro station to begin the tour and experience Medellín like a local. Learn all about the stations and key points in the city, as well as how the metro system helped shape the new Medellin. When arriving at the connecting station, hop on a cable car up the hill. As you go, admire the panoramic views of the city and find out about its evolving history and troubled past. At the top, take a short ride on the bus toward the Comuna 13 district. At Comuna 13, the real fun begins. An enthusiastic guide will explain all the positive changes made to transform what was once one of the most dangerous communities in South America into a symbol of the new Medellín. You will have time to take in all the amazing street art and ride the electric outdoor escalators to the top observation deck, which offers incredible views.

Listen to insights about Medellín, hear interesting stories from the guides, meet locals and learn about the library that works as a community center before returning to Poblado metro station.

We did the 3pm tour with Walter and would definitely recommend it! Walter was happy to answer any questions and always made sure that we felt safe. It was also great to see that he was friendly with a lot of people in Communa 13, which gave the feeling that he really knew what he was talking about. He told the history of Communa 13, with so much respect and empathy for the people. It was great but also heartbreaking to learn about the history of Communa 13 (and actually Medellín in general) and I think this is a must for anyone visiting Medellín.

The murals and street art were fabulous. Comuna 13 is a fascinating area to explore and even though you needed to be alert to your surroundings, I never felt afraid. Great history lesson about the history of turmoil and war in Colombia. The locals were friendly and have an inspiring sense of community and taking care of themselves when the government ignored or persecuted them. My whole family loved the tour. Our kids are 16 and 23. Even though it was a 4 hour tour we all wished we had more time to spend there and explore and visit the shops and vendors. This is truly an essential part of any visit to Medellin. The city itself is a massive sprawl and unless you feel comfortable taking the metro - which is modern and a great way to get around - it is a major hassle to get anywhere.

It was a very well organized trip. The guide was very friendly and gave us a lot of information about the history of Comuna 13. It was a special experience to walk through this neighborhood and think how dangerous it was a few years ago, while now many tourists come to see the neighborhood every day. I highly recommend this trip.
