Guatapé Day Trip with Laura
We had an amazing trip to Guatapé with Laura. It was our first day in Colombia and she made it so special. She struck the perfect balance of providing relevant information/history of each place we visited and letting us experience parts ourselves. I would highly recommend booking and requesting Laura <3

Great tour!
My sister and I did the private tour with Sara (I highly recommend that you do the tour with her!) and we had an amazing time! We started off at a local fruit market where Sara helped us pick various regional fruits, all of which were delicious! After the market, we climbed El Peñol and, then, went to Guatape where we had a delicious bandeja paisa at a restaurant Sara recommended (did not disappoint!). We spent some time exploring the town and finished the day with a tour at Finca La Rivera. The coffee at Finca La Rivera is delicious! Highly recommend this tour!!!

El Peñol, Guatape, and coffee farm in one trip with a great guide
Erika was an excellent tour guide. She arrived on time, was very friendly and knowledgeable, and attentive to our needs and interests. The views from the rock were spectacular, and we loved the town of Guatape. We appreciated the opportunity to visit a small family coffee farm in the same trip, and enjoyed a freshly brewed cup of coffee before the drive back. The fruit tasting was an added bonus - Erika found eleven (!) fruits that we had never even heard of before for us to taste. Overall, a great day with an outstanding guide!

Amazing experience, definitely would recommend
This tour was amazing! Our guide was very informative and friendly. The farm we visited was beautiful & the family who own the farm made us feel very welcomed. We got to try the cocoa through each step of the process & even make our own chocolate bar which was super cool. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants an authentic Colombian experience!

Amazing hikes, views, and guide
Amazing pictures and a wonderful experience. The day trip was led by Sarah, who was a fantastic guide and gave us a through and informative insight into life in Medellin and on the farms. Sarah also clearly had an established relationship with the families who ran the farms, and gave us some insight into how people live and thrive in the countryside. Sarah also had great patience when we ran into traffic, and ensured we had adequate rest and food throughout.

This Full-Day Graffiti Tour is the Best Urban Experience you can have in Medellin.

In this experience we put together two beautiful experiences and places.

First, the must-do activity in Medellin, the graffiti tour in Comuna 13.

Second, a much less touristy area of Medellin full of beautiful and meaningful graffitis in Comuna 3.

Visiting both locations will give you a deep understanding of the transformation of Medellin through the art and its people.

Also an insight of the consequences of the conflict in Colombia that derived in the origin of these neighborhoods.

This is a very moving, educational, fun and artistic tour, book now we promise you won’t regret it.

First Stop: Graffiti Tour in Comuna 13

We prefer to start with comuna 13 graffiti tour to avoid crowds later in the day.

Our Graffiti Tour in Medellin in Comuna 13 is definitely a must do activity when you come to Medellin

The violent past, the beautiful present and the promising future of this district makes it a magical place and an unforgettable experience.

The street art throughout the whole neighborhood makes it more mind blowing knowing that most of them have a special meaning related to its history.

You get inside in one of those neighborhoods in Comuna 13, the most dangerous Comuna in Medellin only 20 years ago.

Outdoor Escalators in our Graffiti Tour in Medellin:

Comuna 13 is the place where the first non-touristy outdoor electrical escalators in the world were installed.

The escalators were opened in December of 2011 with a cost of 3,5 million dollars and was built to save more than 350 stairs in a very steep hill.

Besides the escalators that became one the biggest touristic attractions in Medellin, Comuna 13 is also one of the biggest street art district in Latin America.

More than 15 meaningful graffitis to learn about

Half of the neighborhood displays meaningful graffiti and you get the chance to learn all their meanings at this incredible Graffiti Tour in Medellin.

Throughout the walk in Comuna 13 we invite you to try the traditional ice cream from this area as well as to have an amazing single origin coffee.

And who knows if we are lucky we might find some of the artists responsible for this pieces of art.

In our walk you visit the view point, the new pathway full of graffiti and the slide built to honor a tragedy occurred in Comuna 13.

There is a particular monument that was built to honor all the children of Comuna 13 and we’ll use it to revive our inner children and have some fun.

This 3-hour tour will definitely give you a taste of everything we were, we are and a clue of what we will be as a city.

Second Stop: Graffiti Tour in Comuna 3

Our Constelaciones Graffiti Tour in Comuna 3 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.

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:

Once we finish the traditional graffiti tour in Comuna 13 the we drive around 20 minutes to arrive to our second stop.

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.

Lunch Time: Traditional Food From The Pacific Region

We have lunch at a little restaurant owned by a family displaced from the pacific region of Colombia.

The food is delicious and authentic from that region with a lot of african influence.

After we have lunch we tell you stories of different people that had great and positive influence in the foundation of the neighborhood.

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 25 murals, there are in total 189 houses painted that make the neighborhood very happy and colorful.

We provide a delicious lunch at a little restaurant that offers food from the pacific region, it’s absolutely delicious.

All in all, we promise this will be a memorable experience, full of information, colors and beautiful people.
