Tour description

The violent past, the beautiful present, and the promising future of this district make it a magical place and an unforgettable experience. The street art throughout the whole neighborhood makes it even more mind-blowing, knowing that most of them have a special meaning related to its history. You step inside one of those neighborhoods in Comuna 13, once the most dangerous Comuna in Medellin only 25 years ago. OUTDOOR ESCALATORS IN OUR GRAFFITI TOUR IN MEDELLIN: Comuna 13 is the place where the first non-touristy outdoor electrical escalators in the world were installed. The escalators were opened in December of 2011 with a cost of 3.5 million dollars and were built to save more than 350 stairs on a very steep hill. Besides the escalators, which became one of the biggest tourist attractions in Medellin, Comuna 13 is also one of the biggest street art districts in Latin America. MORE THAN 15 MEANINGFUL GRAFFITIS TO LEARN ABOUT Half of the neighborhood displays meaningful graffiti, and you get the chance to learn all their meanings on this incredible Graffiti Tour in Medellin. Throughout the walk in Comuna 13, we invite you to try the traditional ice cream from this area as well as to enjoy an amazing single-origin coffee. And who knows if we are lucky, we might find some of the artists responsible for these pieces of art. On our walk, you will visit the viewpoint, the new pathway full of graffiti, and the slide built to honor a tragedy that occurred in Comuna 13. We’ve already given you a detailed description of our Graffiti tour, but there’s still more to learn, and photos don’t do the experience justice; you’ll see for yourself when you join us! In case you want to do each experience separately, you just have to book the Graffiti or Former Dump. Ready for the urban experience of a lifetime? Just fill out the booking form and take the Graffiti tour in Medellin with us.
