On this tour, you'll immerse into this inspiring place, visiting three different neighborhoods within the Comuna and learning beyond its history directly from impressive artists who led impactful projects that managed to transform Colombia’s most feared district.

The first stop will be San Javier, Comuna 13’s entry before moving on to the highest part of the Comuna, the Nuevos Conquistadores neighborhood. Here, you can see Medellín’s rural outskirts and have a privileged view over Comuna 13 and the entire city.
