Cable Metro Station
1) After being picked up from your place in comfortable and private transportation, we'll begin our tour heading to the northwest of Medellín, towards our CABLECAR SYSTEM in Comuna 13, an emblem of progress and innovation of the city. This transportation played a significant role in positioning Medellín as the world's most innovative city, it is worth noting that Medellín has the only Metro system in Colombia, recognized as one of the most efficient and clean in all of Latin America!
We will take a captivating round trip on the cable car, ascending the mountains and soaring above the vibrant "barrios". This unique perspective offers a completely different scenery, allowing us to absorb the diverse faces of the city. The views are simply breathtaking.

Escaleras Electricas De La Comuna 13
2) On our following point we'll get to experience one of the city's innovated "ELECTRIC ESCALATORS". One of the primary goals of these projects was to improve accessibility for residents living in the city's marginalized communities, they help connect these areas to the main public transportation network, making it easier for residents to access jobs, education, and healthcare facilities.
We'll have a short and leisurely walk around the iconic ROAD-DUCT that interconnects all the neighborhoods on the superior side, which were in constant conflict with each other just a few years ago, and it has become a symbol of Comuna 13's remarkable metamorphosis, from a place controlled by violence and crime to a thriving and inspiring community.
