This fascinating slum tour displays Medellin as a new city that has hardly worked to close the gap in between rich and poor in order for everyone to enjoy great quality of life regardless of their social stratus.

Get away from westernized touristy sections of the city and discover average Colombian barrios where authentic natives enjoy the top of the line infrastructure such as the San Javier cable car and the newly renovated slum Comuna 13 which possesses the most exclusive electrical escalator in America. You will gain a better understanding of this exciting city which like a sleeping giant has gone from the most violent to the most innovative on earth.
