The tour of resilience and the meeting with its protagonists - Beautiful visit to a neighborhood of Medellín. We were able to share with the inhabitants and discover the past of this neighborhood today marked by peace and tranquility. An example of resilience through art and community action. Tom is an excellent guide who speaks perfect Spanish and knows the details of the story and its protagonists. I highly recommend this visit.
