Comuna 13 Graffiti Tour and Street Food

Since a long time ago, Comuna 13 in Medellín was regarded as a restricted zone. A few years ago, there was a battle going on between members of the drug gangs and the police, and bullets were flying back and forth between them. In particular, the Medellín Cartel, which has been widely recognised through the popular television series Narcos, is partially accountable for a significant amount of violence that has occurred in this particular region of the city.
