Medellin · COMUNA 13 GRAFFITI & STREET ART TOURS
42 reviewed
Once cut off by violence, Comuna 13 is now one of Medellin’s proudest neighbourhoods — reached by outdoor escalators, covered in murals painted by the people who live there, and best understood with a guide who grew up on the hillside. These are the tours that tell that story with respect: what each walk covers, whether it includes the cable car and street food, how big the groups run, and what it costs.
Ride the Metrocable to Comuna 13, learn the meaning behind graffiti, sip Medellín coffee, eat an arepa, and finish with beer views.
