This Graffiti tour & Former Landfill bundle-tour is in our opinion the best urban experience you can have in Medellin.

The first part is to visit the most touristy area in Medellin, the comuna 13, to learn about the confrontation between guerrillas, paramitary groups and the legal forces where we learn all about it through the street art.

This beautiful experience is even more enjoyable with all the information we provide during each graffiti and landmarks of the neighborhood.

And then our second stop is the former Landfill neighborhood that is called Moravia and it’s still a pretty virgin tourist-wise location so you can still have a much more genuine and authentic experience.

We’ll be accompanied by a couple of local guides that will be telling us all the history and stories of its evolution, as well as we will be interacting to the people involved in the social transformation.

Please keep reading our detailed tour description and we are sure you will like it even more.
