Overview

This off-the-beaten-track circuit allows you to understand the complexities that the city of Medellín had between the 1970s and 2009, supported by touching and instructive encounters. In four hours, you will flirt with innovation (cable car, strategic urban projects), local gastronomy (tasting of local products), Street Art, History (forced displacement, migratory waves, industrialization of the city. ..) and all this mixed with anecdotes told by local people full of energy who are at the heart of the process of social transformation in their neighborhoods! In addition to being an original tour, it makes it possible to have a social impact on the populations of the San José de la Cima and Brisas del Jardin neighborhoods because it energizes the territory and creates jobs for the community on a small scale. We can't wait to show you these colorful neighborhoods full of history!
