Enjoy a fantastic free tour of Medellin's Comuna 13, an area that has traded its past of criminality and danger for a future of diversity and positivity.

Comuna 13 Free Tour

We'll meet up at San Javier metro station. From here, we'll take the metro and the bus to Comuna 13 in Medellin, a fascinating hillside neighborhood full of color and life.

During the free tour, we'll talk about its dark past and how it was once the most dangerous area in the world. Due to its strategic location, Comuna 13 became the epicenter of violence and armed conflict in Medellin. While we contemplate its colorful graffiti, we'll talk about the different military operations that took place in the area, such as the famous Mariscal and Orion.

However, walking through its steep streets you'll feel totally comfortable and safe. This is due to the incredible transformation of Comuna 13 in the last decades. Thanks to the street art and its colorful murals, the locals have managed to turn it into an attractive place for visitors without forgetting its past.

After 2.5 hours, we'll say goodbye and end the free tour of Comuna 13 back in the center of Medellin.

Groups

This free tour doesn't admit groups of more than 6 people, even if they book the activity separately. If you're traveling in a larger group, we recommend checking out our private tours in Medellin.
