Description

We’ll enter Comuna 13 through a SECRET PATH, walking across its lesser-known, non-touristic side to explore its streets and houses, and get an authentic glimpse into the daily life of its locals. This unique route will lead us to the vibrant tourist area, where colorful murals share stories of hope, unity, and resilience. From a scenic viewpoint, you’ll take in breathtaking views of Medellín while enjoying ancestral chicha —a traditional fermented corn drink treasured by indigenous communities for centuries. Made through a natural fermentation process, this drink carries the earthy flavors of the land and the wisdom of generations. Your journey continues into the beating heart of the city—downtown Medellín. Feel the city’s artistic pulse and taste 6 ancestral drinks from Colombia’s Pacific coast: Viche, Viche Curao, Vinete, Crema de Viche, Tomaseca, and Arrechón. Crafted by Afro-Colombian communities using time-honored techniques, these beverages are cultural emblems. Some are infused with herbs, fruits, or spices, adding depth and unique character to every sip. To accompany your tasting, try the delicious Colombian patacones, included in the tour, crispy twice-fried green plantains served with hogao, a traditional tomato and onion sauce, and queso costeño, a salty fresh cheese from Colombia’s coast. By the end of this experience, you’ll have tasted seven iconic drinks, discovered Medellín’s most inspiring places, and connected with the art, history, and soul of the city—one sip at a time.
