Medellin Graffiti Tour

The experience starts by exploring Pablo Escobar's old district known locally as “Medellín sin Tugurios”.  Here you will see around 700 homes he donated to the poor for the support and in exchange for being allowed to foster the violent culture he became so well known for. Move through the city to Santo Domingo Savio, which used to be one of the most unsafe suburbs of the city.  Located some 7km from the centre, it is a clear example of the social transformation that has taken place in the last few years.

Here you will experience the city's famous metro cable (cable car) that joins the area to the city centre and which has been a life changing development for many of the residents of Medellin. Santo Domingo Savio also houses the Biblioteca España Park, one of a series of regeneration projects that helped transform the urban, social and cultural landscape of Medellín. The library is a space of social inclusion, cohabitation and access to a world of information along with a mural painted by the local inhabitants in commemoration of the victims of the violent past, symbolized by a new birth for everybody.
