Comuna 13 Tour (Pazifistas)
Colombia
Our guides pick up passengers in the lobby or waiting room of the hotel where they are staying. Travelers are then taken for a ride on the Metro cable cars or better known as Metro Cable, this place offers incredible panoramic views of the city of Medellín, ideal for those passionate about photography. Then we went with the travelers to the neighborhood of Comuna 13, there we showed them street art of the place composed of a Break Dance Show, a Rap Show and what interests us most, all the graffiti in the place. Sometimes when we are lucky we can see the works that are in progress and when this happens we can interact with the artists. Throughout the entire tour in Comuna 13 we will be accompanied by a Local guide who will tell us the meaning of each of the works.
