Great experience - Great experience, we were walked through the Comuna 13 with a guide, who explained all the recent history of the Comuna as well as the evolution up to today's situation.
The place is full of artistic expressions all over, and it is 100% safe to walk through the streets as long as you follow what your guide tells you. Really interesting visit and a must-do in Medellin!
