Comuna 13 Unplugged: Secret Paths, Street Art & Rooftop Rituals
Skip the typical Comuna 13 routes and discover its hidden soul with local storytellers who grew up in the neighborhood.
Walk secret paths far from the crowds, explore colorful alleys, and hear powerful stories of Colombia’s political and social history — all told through the lived experience of this resilient community. Along the way, enjoy street art, local snacks, music, and spontaneous encounters.
The journey ends with a rooftop ritual: a peaceful moment to relax, reflect, or experience something unique, like creative expression or a brief reflexology (foot massage) session.
What truly sets us apart? A portion of each booking funds Wayacan Art Walls, our initiative to support community-led murals and cultural projects. So far, we've co-created three large-scale pieces — and more are coming. This is not just a graffiti tour. It’s an unplugged experience of Comuna 13’s spirit, struggles, and hope.
