About This Tour

A full-day private introduction to Medellin combining Comuna 13's street art and outdoor escalators with a ride on the real Metrocable aerial cable system, all in air-conditioned comfort with your own guide. This private tour covers more ground than most visitors manage on their own in a single day: Comuna 13's real transformation story and street art, plus a ride on Medellin's genuine Metrocable aerial cable-car system, which doubles as everyday public transit for hillside neighborhoods. Your guide handles all the logistics and adds real historical and cultural context along the way.

Medellín's transit story is part of why this tour works so well in a single day. The Metro began commercial service on 30 November 1995 along Line A, and in August 2004 Line K added a cable-car link up to the Santo Domingo hillside, widely regarded as the first cable-propelled urban transit line in South America. Riding it is less a sightseeing gimmick than a look at how the city tied its steep northern barrios to the rest of the valley.

Comuna 13, the other half of the day, is a hillside district on the city's west side. Its outdoor escalators were installed at the end of 2011 and finished in 2012, covering roughly 384 metres of slope that residents previously climbed on foot by stairs. The murals along the route are a mix of resident-led work and commissioned pieces, and your guide can explain which is which.

The pairing of the two, a transit network and a neighborhood rebuilt around public infrastructure, is the thread that ties a full-day introduction together, from downtown out to the hillsides.
