About

Once one of the most dangerous barrios in the world, Comuna 13 rebuilt itself around a set of outdoor escalators and a wall to wall gallery of murals painted by the same local artists who lead these tours today. Guides who grew up on these stairs tell a version of the neighborhood's turnaround that no guidebook can, hip hop and breakdancing included most afternoons. Go with a local guide rather than alone, the tour fee goes directly back into the community that built this.
