Discover Medellin's social change through art and music
Are you visiting the city of eternal spring? Then you cannot miss one of the greatest symbols of resilience and vindication of this country, the Comuna 13 of Medellin.
Just a few years ago this place was considered one of the most dangerous on the planet. However, thanks to the joint work of the community and the state, today these streets breathe an air of peace, reconciliation and urban culture.
Live a different experience with one of Hansa Tours expert guides and take advantage of this unique opportunity for a deep immersion into the dynamics of life in a working-class Latin American neighborhood.
Let your mind wander through the dozens of staircases that even Escher himself could not have imagined. Let the urban rhythms of local artists take over your body. Admire the eccentric architecture of the thousands of houses that cling to the mountain like swallow's nests. Fall in love with the hundreds of murals that reflect the history of a difficult past, an optimistic present and a hopeful future.
Are you ready to start this incredible adventure? Then contact Hansa Tours and get ready to live a totally disruptive experience that is changing the way we understand and do tourism.

Jessy
By the end of the week, I felt I'd made a new friend and was leaving a city I had fallen in love with. If and when we get to go back, I'll be asking Daniel to take us to more sites and share more of his favorite places with us. I can't adequately express how much his time and dedication to our trip meant to me. Absolutely wonderful tour guide.
