Comuna Trece Graffi Free Tour: History, Street Art & Colombian Food
Overview
During this walking tour, we will explore the famous Graffitour and discover the stories behind its colorful murals, while learning about the difficult period of armed conflict that affected the community.
We will also walk through the neighborhood, experience the famous outdoor electric escalators and enjoy beautiful panoramic views of Medellín.
But this experience is about more than history and graffiti. I want you to experience Comuna 13 through its local flavors too. That is why the tour includes a Colombian coffee tasting and a sample of a popular local ice cream or dessert from the neighborhood.
My goal is to show you the real Comuna 13: its past, its transformation, its art, its people and the incredible energy that makes this neighborhood one of the most special places in Medellín.
Come walk, learn, taste, take amazing photos and experience Comuna 13 like a local.
