Graffiti tour COMUNA 132) Our next destination is the captivating, multicultural, and vibrant Comuna 13—a true testament to transformation and resilience. Once plagued by the control of drug dealers, guerrillas, and paramilitary groups, today it stands as the shining jewel of Medellín. We'll have a walk through the graffiti route to witness the remarkable fusion of art and history. The graffiti and murals scattered throughout the neighborhood vividly depict its tumultuous past, remarkable present, and its inspiring future.
