This fascinating slum tour displays Medellin as a new city that has hardly worked to close the gap in between rich and poor in order for everyone to enjoy great quality of life regardless of their social stratus.
Get away from westernized touristy sections of the city and discover average Colombian barrios where authentic natives enjoy the top of the line infrastructure such as the San Javier cable car and the newly renovated slum Comuna 13 which possesses the most exclusive electrical escalator in America. You will gain a better understanding of this exciting city which like a sleeping giant has gone from the most violent to the most innovative on earth.

We did a private half day tour with Luis Alberto and had a great experience. We not only got to see El Centro and Comuna 13 but also stopped at different street food vendors along the way to sample local fruits and small bites. Luis Alberto was very knowledgeable and provided excellent historical information. Highly recommend this tour.

So glad we got to see this with our own eyes and to hear stories of the transformation of Comuna 13. There was plenty of walking up slopes, so the escalators we're a nice change. Kind of like a metro station with no trains

Tour was amazing with Luis Reyes. Luis really explained the history and story of everything we saw. He was thoughtful and answered all of our questions. The culture and people of Colombia are wonderful and Luis is a great global ambassador to his country.
