These days, Comuna 13 is more readily associated with graffiti, street art performances and walking tours. New infrastructure, including a cable car system and six outdoor escalators, has made life in Comuna 13 a whole lot easier for residents and opened the area up to tourists like never before.

San Javier, also known as Comuna 13, is famous for its outdoor escalators and graffiti-filled streets. A must see example of urban revival in Medellin.

Listed as a must-see in Colombia by countless travel guides on the internet, The Commune 13 in Medellín surprises for its history of resilience and social transformation, from the colors of impressive murals and graffiti by mostly local artists, to a neighborhood life as genuine as the inhabitants who kindly welcome the people who come to visit it. San Javier or The Commune 13 is one of the sixteen communes of Medellín and is located to the west of the city, in its 74 km2 it houses more than eighteen neighborhoods. The tour guides are often people who inhabit the neighborhood and who are testimony of its history, young people rap and breakdance and an escalator in the middle of the place lead to one of the most impressive views of the city; its colors, buildings, and mountains. The Medellín Metro station closest to The commune 13 is the San Javier station, the last one on Line B heading Central – West. To get to the San Javier station it is necessary to get to the San Antonio station on Line A and descend to locate the stairs that lead to Line B. Once at the San Javier station you can take a taxi to get to the escalators or take the route 221i or 225i bus that you take at the traffic light stop on the right leaving the San Javier station, both can leave you two blocks from the escalators, where the Graffitour begins. Do not forget to tell the driver where you are going to let you know where to get off. Once you are at the San Javier station, instead of descending there, you have the option of taking Line J of the Medellín metrocable to contemplate Commune 13 of Medellín and the entire city from the air, an enriching experience not only for the landscape, if not for the invitation to be aware of the contrasts of this Colombian metropolis. Our recommendation is to leave this plan for the end before leaving The Commune 13 or at the beginning and return to the San Javier station to go to the escalators since if one of your plans is to visit the neighborhood and enjoy the Graffitour, seeing it from the air will not be enough. Both in the Metro and throughout the city it is very difficult to get lost, because the people of Medellín, recognized for their kindness and spirit of hospitality, will always be willing to help you locate, even if they do not speak your own language, with their ingenuity they will seek the way to tell you how to get to your destination. Recommendations: * Use sunscreen * Wear comfortable clothing. * Hydrate yourself. Water is also a must for outdoor tours. * Invest in the territory, promote local products with their consumption, and try to contribute with your presence to the development of sustainable and responsible tourism. * Take a tour with local guides. Definitely, they are the ones who know the history of the neighborhood best. * Take a camera, and carry it with enough memory space. The Graffitour of Commune 13 is full of graffiti and its composition and history will make you want to take a picture of each one; This is perfectly the most instagrammable place in Medellín. In addition, from the highest part of the escalators, you can see a privileged view of the city. Enjoy!
