Every wall tells a story — 250+ murals in Medellín's open-air gallery
Plan Your ExperienceComuna 13's graffiti scene features works by internationally recognized artists like Chota13, Pérèz, and APC Crew alongside community members. Themes range from armed conflict memory to Afro-Colombian identity, hip-hop culture, and visions of peace.
Local artists lead 2-3 hour walking tours through the main graffiti corridor, explaining symbolism, technique, and personal stories behind each mural. Tours operate rain or shine, with morning departures recommended for the best photography light.
Many muralists sell prints, stickers, and original works from small shops along the escalator route. Buying directly from artists is one of the most impactful ways to support the community. Prices range from $2 for stickers to $50-200 for original pieces.
