Graffitour Comuna 13, con guías del barrio
This is a residential neighbourhood, not an attraction. Roughly 4,000 people a day now walk through it. We work only with guide collectives based in Comuna 13, we ask you not to photograph residents without asking, and we do not sell narco-themed content of any kind.
The hillside barrio that went from the most feared address in Medellín to an open-air gallery, walked with someone who grew up in it. Outdoor escalators, murals with meanings, and the 2002 military operation told by the people it happened to.
Private departure at 08:00, before the day’s several thousand visitors arrive. Adds studio time with a working muralist and door-to-door transport instead of the metro connection.

Food & Drink
The Graffitour route taken slowly and eaten through — mango biche with salt and lime, obleas, chorizo from the grill halfway up, and a cold Club Colombia at the top with the whole valley below you.

Culture
Twenty-three fat bronze Boteros standing in a public square, and upstairs the best collection of Colombian art outside Bogotá. The museum also holds the country’s most uncomfortable modern painting, and we will show you it.

Culture
The downtown most visitors are told to avoid, walked properly with a guide who can explain why it looks the way it does. Four hours through Parque Berrío, the Palacio, Botero’s square and the streets where the city actually works.
