Additional Information

We welcome you to the city’s most emblematic quarter where you will discover and immerse in abundant history, heritage, and culture. Comuna 13, once reckoned as one of the riskiest locations across the globe, witnessed its inhabitants trapped amidst a perilous warfare involving radical left and right factions and subsequent governmental interventions. This circumstance led to profound sorrow, fatalities, and adversity. However, the commencement of peace instigated a significant metamorphosis across the nation and numerous erstwhile inapproachable zones are now accessible and secure. Comuna 13, epitomizing this change, has transformed itself from a battleground to a hub of creativity, largely through the medium of art.

An expert guide will elaborate on the significance of the graffiti, the site’s history, stops at intriguing locations like the 13’s museum, 3D graffiti, neon house, the Comuna 13 banner, electric stairs, hip hop performances, and samples of local cuisine and ice creams.

Not only for art lovers - I loved walking through Comuna 13. I was thankful that we arrived early in the day. As we were walking back to our starting point, I noticed tour group after tour group going through Comuna 13. I highly recommend hanging out for the rap battle as they troll through the tourists!

Awesome time in Medellin w/ Julian - We did a large 30+ person tour with Julian around Medellin which included Guatape, Santa Elena and Comuna13. Julian was a great tour guide and organized the day very well. He was patient with our large group of people and showed us around, took us to great restaurants. The tour bus was awesome - great seating and AC. I had an amazing time in Medellin thanks to Julian and his crew!

Really fun tour of comuna13!! - The tour was extremely fun! We had ice cream, beers, danced, sang, took amazing pictures, bought incredible art, and learned a ton about the history of the comuna. It was my third time doing the same tour, but QParche’s was the best one by far! I will definitely be hiring them for future tours throughout the city.
