Comuna 13 Street Art Tour

At the indicated time, we'll meet along the Parque el Poblado to start our street art tour of Medellin and discover the most colorful side of the city. We'll board a van decorated with graffiti (graffivan) to begin our journey.

We will visit Comuna 13, formerly considered one of the most dangerous areas of Medellin. This tour showcases how urban art has transformed its drug trafficking and criminal past.

Our first stop will feature artists performing improvisations on cultural and current affairs. Next, we will see the graffiti along the first escalators in Colombia, which are among the longest in the world located in a neighborhood.

Throughout the walk, we will explore the story behind this street art, which speaks of hope and a bright future for Medellin and delivers a message of peace from Comuna 13 to the world.

Before concluding, we’ll visit the Casa de Neón, a unique place combining paint and light, ideal for photos!
