Overview

Avoid Tourist Crowds In Medellin: Comuna 4

Dare to go beyond the tourist-packed streets and delve into the heart of Comuna 4, a Barrio that for decades the government did not recognise, where now authenticity thrives and local stories come to life. Our immersive tour is not just a stroll; it's an intimate exploration led by a passionate guide and a local community leader who grew up in the barrio and who calls this vibrant community home.

What Sets Us Apart:  

• Respect: This is not “poverty tourism”, quite the opposite, it's an opportunity for locals to show you how proud they are of their barrio. 

• Experience: We have been running this experience since 2016, amplifying the voice of the locals and the Transformation of Medellin. 

• Knowledge: We are professional tour guides who have lived abroad, and are not satisfied with over-simplified explanations. We explain the Colombian education system, the health care system, the welfare system, and more.
