Description
We'll meet at Insiders Foundation, our starting point for this amazing experience. From this location, with a spectacular view of the city, we will begin with a historical introduction to Comuna 13. You will learn how this area transformed from one of the most violent in Colombia into a symbol of resilience and transformation, attracting travelers from all over the world. This introduction will set the perfect context for the journey that is about to begin. Next, we'll start our walking tour through the neighborhood that has made Comuna 13 famous. The first stop will be an urban dance show (depending on weather conditions), where you can feel the energy and passion of the local community. Then, we will dive into the streets decorated with murals, while the guide shares the stories and meanings behind these artworks created by local artists. Later on, we'll visit the neighborhood’s court, a place transformed by interventions from renowned artists who have left their mark on this space. From there, we will continue along the main street, where you will experience the vibrant life and energy of this tourist area up close. At the end of the street, we will take a break at a special spot to enjoy local art and a traditional snack from Medellín, lovingly prepared by one of our family members. The adventure will continue with the ascent through the iconic system of electric escalators, a mobility project symbolizing the transformation of the commune. During the ascent, you will keep discovering more urban art while tasting some characteristic flavors of Colombia, including a delicious coffee drink. Upon reaching the top, you will be rewarded with a stunning panoramic view of Comuna 13 and the city of Medellín. After enjoying this spectacular view, we will begin our journey back to Insiders Foundation. On this occasion, we will walk through less-traveled alleys and shortcuts to immerse ourselves in the local atmosphere and discover unique corners. Once we return to Insiders, you will cool off with a delicious handmade ice cream, perfect for wrapping up this amazing walk. Finally, you will have the chance to explore graffiti art and leave your creative mark as a memento of this experience. This tour is more than a sightseeing visit: it is a journey through the history, art, and resilience that define Comuna 13. We look forward to sharing it with you!Includes
