Description

Experience Comuna 13 with 100% local people, listen to real stories, explore its art, and weave a souvenir with your own hands that will forever connect you to this place.
You'll meet your local guide directly in Comuna 13, sector 20 de Julio, and start a small group experience walking among murals, viewpoints, and cultural spaces that show the social and artistic transformation of the territory to the Independencia 1 neighborhood, where you'll see the escalators.

Through real stories and historical context, you'll understand the meaning of urban art beyond the image. You'll visit art galleries and historical memory galleries while chatting and observing the life of the neighborhood from the inside. During the tour, you'll take a break at a private viewpoint to enjoy a typical ice cream and a local drink.

At the end, you'll participate in a guided craft session in a private space where you'll weave your own symbolic souvenir, creating a personal memento connected to the experience with your own hands.
