Just a few years ago, the Comuna 13 neighborhood was the most dangerous community in the city of Medellín, but today it is the most colorful and vibrant community in the city.
After the government and private sector invested in social and youth programs, local residents and artists took back the neighborhoods and contributed to the miraculous transformation we see today, the streets were filled with incredible works of street art, music, street artists, and delicious local snacks.
A great opportunity to explore the lively streets of Comuna 13 while meeting local residents and artists, a unique cultural and memorable experience.
Get to know the relationship between the criminal groups, violent past with the new generation, the overcoming of a civil war and a new hope for the community.
