Free Tour of Comuna 13 in Medellín

We are Experiencias Comuna 13, local residents and professional guides with national tourism registration #130234. It will be our pleasure to show you how our neighborhood has changed from when we were children until now.

We’ll start by talking about the squatter settlements (their very beginnings), armed groups, law enforcement, military operations, gangs, invisible boundaries, and, finally, the transformation. You’ll witness how an entire community decided to come together and build resilience in their neighborhood, trading weapons for graffiti, dance, performances, small businesses, and a strong desire to move forward. The alleys we’ll walk through—many of them steeped in history and filled with people who’ll make you feel right at home—will bring a smile to every visitor’s face, and I guarantee you won’t want to leave. the best viewpoints where you can take the best photos and videos, taking in the city and its surroundings.

We’ll be waiting for you, and together we’ll share an unforgettable experience—so that when you return to your own city, you’ll inspire everyone to want to discover this place and prove that it is possible to change a city’s stigma.
