Overview

We are the first to create an experience in the Comuna 8 of Medellin since 2016, a neighborhood that has had a great urban and social transformation in recent years due to the arrival of the first modern streetcar in Colombia, two metrocables to connect the farthest neighborhoods and the Circunvalar Garden being a park full of beautiful nature, birds and one of the best views of the city. In addition, we work hand in hand with the local community so that tourism has a positive impact on the territory.

Paris is famous for its tower, London for its clock, New York for its skyscrapers and Medellín for its social and urban transformation. That's why we want you to learn about its history, growth, development and understand why in 2013 we were listed as "the most innovative city in the world" by the City Bank and the Wall Street Journal. And what better place to learn first-hand about this transformation than the famous but still secret Comuna 8?
