City Tour + Graffiti Tour Comuna 13

Presentation

Get to know the most outstanding places in the city, its history and customs, and understand the basis of its culture: the paisa culture. In addition, immerse yourself in the historical and current context of Comuna 13, an area that once suffered terrible episodes of violence and is now one of the most vibrant places in Medellín, with its graffiti and urban art expressions.

This tour must be done in a vehicle, as you will visit different sites that are separated by several kilometers. You will have the opportunity to walk through the places where stops are made. The time spent walking and standing in the graffiti area is approximately 2 hours.
