Free Tour of Comuna 13 of Medellin
Overview
We start talking about the invasions (its first beginnings), the armed groups, the public forces, the military operations, the gangs, the invisible borders and, finally, the transformation.
You will be able to witness how a whole community decided to unite and make their neighborhood resilient, exchanging weapons for graffiti, dances, shows, entrepreneurship and a lot of desire to move forward. The alleys that we walk through, many of them with stories and people that will make you feel as if you were at home, bringing a smile to each of our visitors and I assure you that you will not want to leave the place, the best viewpoints where you can take the best photos and videos, appreciating the city and its surroundings.
We will be waiting for you and together we will live an unforgettable experience, that you go to your city and infect everyone to want to know this place and show that you can change the stigma of a city.
