Overview

This off-the-beaten-track circuit allows you to understand the complexities that the city of Medellín had between the 1970s and 2009, supported by touching and instructive encounters. In four hours, you will flirt with innovation (cable car, strategic urban projects), local gastronomy (tasting of local products), Street Art, History (forced displacement, migratory waves, industrialisation of the city. ..) and all this mixed with anecdotes told by local people full of energy who are at the heart of the process of social transformation in their areas! In addition to being an original tour, it makes it possible to have a social impact on the populations of the San José de la Cima and Brisas del Jardin areas because it energises the territory and creates jobs for the community on a small scale. We can't wait to show you these colourful areas full of history!

Activity itinerary

On board the Metrocable, discover three essential pillars of Medellin's progress: public transport connecting the city, the strong sense of mutual aid and community belonging, as well as strategic urban planning. These elements have helped transform Medellin into a dynamic and inclusive city, symbolising the city's renewal and resilience.
Parque Biblioteca Espana
  • 30m
Start your day at Mirador de Santo Domingo, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Medellin. While admiring the city's iconic sites, our guide will explain the impact of armed conflicts in the countryside, which led to waves of migration to Medellin. These migrations have shaped working-class areas, often resulting from the invasion, and our guide will enlighten you on this complex and often little-known reality of the city.
Uva De La Armonía
  • 30m
Embark on public transport towards Comuna 3 Manrique, a area that has undergone a remarkable social transformation. Here, you will discover the innovative urban planning project called “UVA” (Unit of Articulated Life). This project succeeded in significantly reducing levels of insecurity, with an impressive drop of 70%, while promoting social cohesion through the intelligent development of urban space. Prepare to be inspired by this storey of resilience and community revitalisation.
