Escaleras Electricas De La Comuna 13
The commune 13 is a place full of color, dance, life, flavor. It is a space to appreciate the transformation of a city that has been stigmatized by a difficult and violent past. Being in the middle of the community makes you part of a great family like the city, which today struggles to keep all the good that has been achieved after leaving the war behind.

The Best Way to Experience Comuna 13

5.00I’ve taken many tours while traveling, and this was easily one of the best. As a solo female traveler, feeling safe and comfortable is incredibly important to me, and from the moment I was picked up, I felt completely at ease. He was respectful, kind, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making sure I had a great experience. Comuna 13 is filled with history, culture, and incredible art, and having a local guide explain the stories behind it all added so much depth to the experience. I asked plenty of questions, and he always answered them thoughtfully and enthusiastically, making the tour feel personal rather than scripted. The places themselves were amazing, but the guide is what made the experience exceptional. I left with a much deeper appreciation for Comuna 13 and Medellín than I ever would have gained on my own. I would highly recommend this tour, especially for solo travelers looking for an authentic and insightful experience.
Unforgettable Medellín Experience

5.00We had an incredible experience touring Comuna 13 with Yuly in Medellín! From the very beginning, she was welcoming, kind, flexible, and accommodating. She picked us up directly from our hotel and was extremely understanding when we were running a bit behind and needed to adjust the pickup location. Yuly was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Colombia, Medellín, and Comuna 13 itself, and we learned so much throughout the tour. Everything was thoughtfully planned out, and she made sure we got the absolute most out of the experience. The tour included great photo stops, a delicious snack, and even an opportunity to meet one of the influential street artists behind Medellín’s famous murals, which made the experience feel even more special and authentic. She also made sure to get us back to our hotel exactly when we had requested. We truly had such a great time with Yuly and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellín — especially with her as your guide!

5.00We had a terrific visit to Comuna 13 with Julio! He had a great understanding of the community's history and the ways in which art, the land, and the people have navigated past and ongoing challenges. We even got to see the artist Chota 13 briefly (by chance). He waa patient with us, answered questions, and took photos. We also had a lovely cable car ride overlooking the mountains and valleys. We recommend him and his team for anyone looking to have a private tour (including pick up/drop off in Medellín) and look forward to our next visit.
