- Escaleras Eléctricas De La Comuna 13 - Just 18 years ago, Comuna 13 was considered the most dangerous area in Medellin.
It is now home to the world’s first outdoor, non-touristy electric escalators. These were inaugurated in December 2011, costing $3.5 million, and were constructed to replace over 350 steps on a steep hill.
In addition to the escalators, Comuna 13 is one of the largest street art districts in Latin America.
Half of the neighborhood is adorned with meaningful graffiti, and you have the opportunity to learn about their significance on this incredible Graffiti Tour with us.
During the walk in Comuna 13, we invite you to sample traditional Colombian snacks. If you are a food enthusiast, you will love the cuisine.
Empanadas, Butifarras, Carimañolas, Aborrajado, and more—all delicious and authentic.
On our walk, we visit the viewpoint, the new graffiti-filled pathway, and the slide built to honor a tragedy that occurred in Comuna 13.
This tour offers a wealth of history to discover.
- Piedra Del Peñol - The drive from the fruit stands to the rock takes about 35 minutes and is filled with stunning views of kale plantations, onions, sugar cane, coffee, tomatoes, and countless mountain silhouettes.
As we travel, we share the history of the rock: its components, ownership, when it was first climbed, and other fascinating facts.
Upon arrival, you have the chance to climb it. It’s 749 steps and takes approximately 50 minutes to ascend and descend.
Once at the top, you can stay as long as you like, enjoying one of the most breathtaking views imaginable.
This is not just our opinion but also that of hundreds of tourists we have brought here.
At the summit, there are several shops where you can purchase water, beer, and various items while you take in the view of the lake, tiny islands, and country houses.
When you’re ready to descend, we’ll be waiting to continue our adventure to one of the most colorful towns in the country: Guatapé.
- Guatapé - The drive from the rock to Guatapé is only 10 to 15 minutes.
In this town, we offer a fully narrated walking tour through its landmarks, including the church, main square, Remembrance Street, Zócalos Square, and more.
After the walking tour, we take you to the best restaurant in town for a traditional, delicious lunch (not included in the tour), where you have over 20 options to try the local cuisine, accompanied by a cold sangria or craft beer.
After our lunch and visit to the beautiful town of Guatapé, we return in our comfortable private car.
This tour is filled with wonderful memories, new learning experiences, and insights into the history, urban conflict, and culture of this region, leaving you thoroughly satisfied.
