Fully submerge into the social transformation of Medellin
Medellin is known as one of the most innovative cities in the world, due to the major social and infrastructure leaps made, especially in regards to its public transportation systems. The profits from this tour shall be donated to a foundation that supports children and young adults helping them overcome violent backgrounds.
No other place in Colombia exemplifies better the resiliency of its people than Comuna 13, and nobody better to tell their story than its inhabitants. That's why, along with one of our guides, a local will join the tour.
Commonly, the local guides at Comuna 13 are hip hop or graffiti artists and can share the importance of these art forms for the community. We will not only see an impressive display of street art and listen to some music, we will also get a brief history lesson about the progress of Comuna 13.
Once known as the most dangerous part of the most violent city in the world, Comuna 13 used to scare potential visitors. This started to change in the early 2000s when the government intervened in different ways and also young members of the community accepted the challenge of changing the perception that themselves and everyone else had of this troubled district.
The construction of public infrastructure (including the Metrocable and the escalators) has played a crucial role in the transformation of these areas and of its inhabitants' way of thinking; this will be experienced all along the tour.
