TOUR DESCRIPTION
After being picked up from your place in comfortable and private transportation, we’ll begin our tour heading to the northwest of Medellín, towards our CABLECAR SYSTEM in Comuna 13, an emblem of progress and innovation of the city. This transportation played a significant role in positioning Medellín as the world’s most innovative city, it is worth noting that Medellín has the only Metro system in Colombia, recognized as one of the most efficient and clean in all of Latin America!
We will take a captivating round trip on the cable car, ascending the mountains and soaring above the vibrant “barrios”. This unique perspective offers a completely different scenery, allowing us to absorb the diverse faces of the city. The views are simply breathtaking.
Our next destination is the captivating, multicultural, and vibrant COMUNA 13—a true testament to transformation and resilience. Once plagued by the control of drug dealers, guerrillas, and paramilitary groups, today it stands as the shining jewel of Medellín. We’ll have a walk through the GRAFFITI ROUTE to witness the remarkable fusion of art and history. The graffiti and murals scattered throughout the neighborhood vividly shows its tumultuous past, remarkable present, and its inspiring future.
Once at the top of the mountain, we will be rewarded with an extraordinary and strategic view of the city, allowing us to understand why various armed groups sought control over Comuna 13.
