    This is the best way to end this tour since you'll contrast the outcomes of Medellin's city hall social investment and the dark days. In Comuna 13, we discuss the relevant aspects of the context of Colombia and Medellín in the past decades, highlighting those events that shaped the history of our region and turned it into a complex mixture of events, not leaving aside the progress and resilience we are known for. Let the city delight you with its urban art and transformation. We will also interact with locals and certainly contribute to the community. Each graffiti has a special meaning, and it all starts as a means of urban expression, relief, and above all as a form of inclusion. This is a space where we interact with the community and endorse the development and positive changes of the city

    Parque Memorial Inflexion

    This is memorial park created by the city hall and the National History Memory Center, with the purpose of paying tribute to all those people who lost their lives in a period of 10 years (83-94), it is a tribute to the people who, for their integrity, righteousness and honesty, serve as a role model to next generations. Many people tend to glorify or idolize people like pablo escobar, after watching the series on many platforms. This is a space to raise awareness of the damage and negative legacy that narcoterrorism and the culture of easy money left on our country.
