Our Constelaciones Graffiti Tour is an amazing off-the-beaten-path destination.
Far from the crowds that are common in the very touristy Comuna 13 graffiti tour this new alternative offers you a much more authentic experience in Medellin.
The graffitis are beautifully executed with great meanings and through them we understand how this and many other neighborhoods of Medellin that started off as invasions of conflict victims were founded and have developed throughout the time.
If you are a fan of art, history and very moving experiences in less touristy/explored places then this is definitely your tour.
Constelaciones Graffiti Tour Itinerary:
After we pick you up at your place we drive around 20 minutes to arrive to our detination: Constelaciones.
We meet up with our local guide who is also one of the artists that participated in the painting of many of the murals.
After getting some context of this place we start walking around the neighborhood.
This place has been recently opened to tourism and that’s why is rare to see tourists around.
Everyone you see is local with a smile in the face full of pride that people are visiting their neighborhood.
Doing this tour you learn some stories of people that live in the neighborhood but are painted in murals as a recognition for the social work in the community.
You will be hearing stories of different people that had great and positive influence in the foundation of the neighborhood and in many cases we get to know them later in the tour (if they are around) so we can interact with them and learn more about their lives.
In different graffitis we also learn interesting facts of how they could transform the challenges into opportunities in aspects like construction, commerce and cohabitation.
And as you walk in every corner there is a new story displayed in murals that have been made in great detail in the facades of the houses using different artistic methods.
After we have finished all the graffitis the last stop it’s a beautiful view point with a stunning view of Medellin.
During the tour we get to see 15 murals, there are in total 189 houses painted that make the neighborhood very happy and colorful.
The walking tour is around 2 hours and the driving time from El Poblado or Laureles is around 20 or 25 minutes each way, so the tour is around 3 hours from pick up to drop off.
All in all, we promise this will be a memorable experience, full of colors and beautiful people.
