Description

This tour showcases Medellín's innovation. Medellín has long suffered from a bad reputation, especially due to the disappearance of the drug cartels, but the city has changed and is generating a new mentality in people. On this tour, you'll visit one of the most unsafe neighborhoods in Colombia in the 80s and 90s, which has since undergone an incredible transformation. Today, it's a safe place to walk and admire the colorful graffiti, which represents a new era for the community. Join this tour and discover the great stories behind them. On this 4-hour private tour, you'll visit the Casa de la Memoria Museum, the Metro Cable Line J, and meet a local guide in Comuna 13. Check out the escalators of Comuna 13, the home of hip hop, and the San Javier Library Park.
