In this episode, we sit down with Laura, a local tour operator from Zippy Tour, to explore the powerful transformation of Comuna 13, one of Medellín’s most iconic neighbourhoods. Once marked by violence and conflict, Comuna 13 has become a symbol of hope, resilience, and creative expression.

Through Laura’s firsthand insights, we uncover how the neighbourhood has evolved—thanks to grassroots movements, street art, music, and innovative urban projects. She shares what it means to walk through Comuna 13 today, how tourism plays a role in its ongoing development, and why it's important to honour the community’s history while embracing its future.
