This tour is an unique experience, it shows the positive side of street life in the city of Medellín. Creativity, intense colors and amazing art are the main attraction of the tour. The weather is perfect for this kind of trips, warm but not too hot.

Great experience, we were walked through the Comuna 13 with a guide, who explained all the recent history of the Comuna as well as the evolution up to today's situation. The place is full of artistic expressions all over, and it is 100% safe to walk through the streets as long as you follow what your guide tells you. Really interesting visit and a must-do in Medellin!
