Why Comuna 13 Should Be on Your Medellin Bucket List

Exploring Medellin was an unforgettable experience, especially our visit to the vibrant Comuna 13! Once one of the most dangerous neighbourhoods in Medellin due to conflicts between armed groups and the government, it has undergone a remarkable transformation. Today, it stands as a symbol of resilience and cultural revival, bursting with stunning street art, music, and energy. #historicallandmarks 🏘️ We joined a guided tour that picked us up from the hotel, ensuring a smooth and insightful visit. Our private guide shared powerful stories behind the murals and the area’s complex history, including the infamous Operation Orion in 2002, which marked a turning point in its transformation. Comuna 13’s outdoor escalators are a marvel, offering easy access to the colourful streets and artistic expressions that tell stories of hope and change. #localguides #explore #holidayvacation 🍽️ After an inspiring afternoon, we returned to our hotel to freshen up before heading to Andrés Carne de ares for dinner. This world-famous restaurant offers more than just amazing food - it’s a full cultural experience with music, dancing, and a festive atmosphere that immerses you in Colombian culture. #deliciousfood #foodie Travel Tops for Comuna 13: - Book a guided tour for the best insights into the neighbourhood’s transformations. - Visit in the afternoon when street performers bring the area to life. - Stay safe by sticking with reputable tour companies.
