  Comuna 13

  **First Stop: Comuna 13 Graffiti Tour** We'll start the day exploring Comuna 13, allowing us to enjoy its vibrant streets before they get busier later in the day. A visit to Comuna 13 is an absolute must when traveling to Medellín! This neighborhood's remarkable transformation, from a troubled past to a vibrant cultural destination, makes it one of the city's most inspiring places. As you walk through its colorful streets, you'll discover incredible graffiti, music, dance, and local stories. Best of all, many of the murals carry powerful messages about the neighborhood's history, struggles, resilience, and hopes for the future. You'll also get to explore the neighborhood beyond the usual tourist spots and learn how its communities have transformed their surroundings through art, culture, and determination. **Come discover the real Comuna 13 and experience one of Medellín's most fascinating stories firsthand!**

• Escaleras Electricas De La Comuna 13 (Pass by)

  Outdoor Escalators in our Graffiti Tour in Medellin: Comuna 13 is the place where the first non-touristy outdoor electrical escalators in the world were installed. The escalators were opened in December of 2011 with a cost of 3,5 million dollars and was built to save more than 350 stairs in a very steep hill. Besides the escalators that became one the biggest touristic attractions in Medellin, Comuna 13 is also one of the biggest street art district in Latin America.

  Second Stop: Constelaciones Graffiti Tour in Comuna 3 Discover a different side of Medellín with our Constelaciones Tour in Comuna 3! This fascinating off-the-beaten-path experience takes you away from the crowds of Comuna 13 and into a less-explored neighborhood full of art, history, and inspiring stories. Admire beautifully executed murals filled with powerful meanings. Through their colors and messages, you'll discover how local communities, including families displaced by conflict, built their neighborhoods and shaped their identity over time. After exploring Comuna 13, we'll take a scenic 20-minute drive to Comuna 3. There, we'll meet our local guide, who is also one of the artists behind several of the murals you'll discover. Get ready to hear the stories directly from someone who helped create this incredible artistic movement! **If you love street art, local culture, and meaningful experiences beyond the typical tourist attractions, this is a stop you won't want to miss!**

  Lunch Time: Traditional Food From The Pacific Region We have lunch at a little restaurant owned by a family displaced from the pacific region of Colombia. The food is delicious and authentic from that region with a lot of african influence. After we have lunch we tell you stories of different people that had great and positive influence in the foundation of the neighborhood. In many cases we get to know them later in the tour (if they are around) so we can interact with them and learn more about their lives. In different graffitis we also learn interesting facts of how they could transform the challenges into opportunities in aspects like construction, commerce and cohabitation. And as you walk in every corner there is a new story displayed in murals that have been made in great detail in the facades of the houses using different artistic methods. After we have finished all the graffitis the last stop it’s a beautiful view point with a stunning view of Medellin.
