About This Tour

A private tour pairing Comuna 13's escalators and murals with a ride on the Metrocable, the aerial cable-car system that also serves as everyday public transit for the city's hillside neighborhoods. This tour adds a Metrocable ride to the standard Comuna 13 route, giving you an elevated perspective on the same hillside neighborhoods you'll walk through at street level, with your private guide's cultural and historical commentary throughout.

This version adds the cable-car side of Comuna 13 to its street level. The relevant line is Metrocable Line J, which connects the San Javier Metro station with the hillside barrios of the western slope, and it works as a real commuter service for residents. From the cabin you see how the neighborhood climbs the slope, which makes the escalators and murals at street level easier to place in the larger picture.

The aerial view also shows how crowded and improvised the hillside housing is, a useful counterpoint to the colorful murals. Your guide can explain why the cable car was built: to connect steep neighborhoods where buses struggle.

At ground level, the same mix of stories applies: community-led art, the 2011-2012 escalator project, and a history of violence that residents prefer to be told honestly rather than hidden or turned into spectacle.
