Comuna13
Our next stop will be the Comuna 13. Comuna 13 is a very important place in Medellín and has suffered through a terrible history. Only years ago, Comuna 13 used to belong to the most dangerous places in the world and nobody thought of even visiting this area. But this area developed and transformed a lot which makes it today to one of Medellín’s main tourist attractions. In Comuna 13 we will have a local guide that will explain the dramatic history and the big transformation and will talk about his own experience growing up in such a dangerous place. We also will see the electric stairs, which have had a big impact on the development of the city and have increased the mobility of thousands of people.
