Book a tour instead of doing this yourself! We learned so much from our tour guide, Franklin, who grew up in the neighborhood and gave us so much insight into the history and culture of Comuna 13.
Good presentation of the English guide

This tour was by far the highlight of my trip to Medellin. We had a tour guide named Franklin. He was AMAZING!!! Very energetic and enthusiastic. Really took his time explaining the history of the neighborhood and the beautiful artwork that is everywhere. He took us for some street food which was delicious and took us to his favorite little places for coffee and drinks, and showed us the best outlooks where you can see all of comuna 13. I would definitely book this excursion again. Felt safe and secure with Franklin as he is a local and is very well known in the town. Wonderful experience all around!!!! Thank you Franklin!!!!!
