Commune 13 - lucky for all - What a place - and Luis made it fun with plenty of laughs - even an Aussie Raygun reference! You could do the trip yourself… but you’d be missing out on the spiel and the small touches that make the difference!

Comuna 13 tour from Mateo, a native of the area - Great and safe way to get to know the famous, colorful Comuna 13 neighborhood of Medellin along with some of its history. Ask for Mateo
