Just Crazy! - What a crazy story about horrible violence and transformation into a vibrant beautiful place. Alex was an awesome tour guide. His enthusiasm and love for Comuna 13 was clear and he took us to so many cool places. There were a few nice surprises and so much information about all the tragic and uplifting events that make up Comuna 13's history. A little exhausting but very much worth it.
