Discover a secret place with locals (Comuna 8)
We are the first to create a tour in Comuna 8 of Medellín, a vulnerable neighborhood that has undergone a great urban and social transformation in recent years due to the arrival of the first modern tram in Colombia, two metrocables to connect the most remote neighborhoods and the Circunvalar Garden being a park full of beautiful nature, birds and one of the best views of the city. In addition, we work hand in hand with the local community so that tourism has a positive impact.
Paris is famous for its tower, London for its clock, New York for its skyscrapers and Medellín for its social and urban transformation. That is why we want you to know its history, growth, development and understand why in 2013 we were classified as "the most innovative city in the world" by the City Bank and the Wall Street Journal. And what better place to see this transformation first-hand than the famous but little discovered Comuna 8?
