Comuna 13 + Perpetuo Socorro and Dance Class

About this experience

Book this experience directly with Junior Salinas, a certified local guide in Medellín.

You'll begin the tour in the emblematic Comuna 13, one of the places that best represents Medellín's social transformation. This district, marked by violence in the 1990s and early 2000s, is today a symbol of resilience, art and hope. You'll walk up its famous escalators, an urban mobility project that changed residents' lives and today lets you explore the neighborhood from a different perspective. Along its streets you'll admire the colorful graffiti and murals by local artists, who have turned the walls into an open-air gallery telling stories of memory and identity. You'll also enter small urban art galleries and enjoy a traditional handcrafted popsicle, one of the area's signature flavors. You'll continue on the integrated transport system: you'll take the Metrocable and the Metro downtown to visit the iconic Plaza Botero, home to the majestic sculptures of renowned Colombian artist Fernando Botero. Then you'll reach the Perpetuo Socorro Creative District, which represents Medellín's new cultural scene and has become a meeting point for artists, designers and entrepreneurs. Its murals, workshops, galleries and cafés showcase the talent and innovative energy of the new generations. To close, you'll enjoy an urban dance class led by professional dancers. You'll learn the signature steps and moves of rhythms like reggaeton and connect with the city's musical essence: a dynamic, participatory activity, perfect to share as a group and feel the rhythm that defines Medellín today. 💵 Three options (choose yours when booking): • Per hour — $70,000/hour: guide only, groups of 1 to 10 travelers.
