Many Medellín tours head to Comuna 13, a neighborhood once plagued by violence and now celebrated as a symbol of art and hope. The surrounding countryside is full of lush jungle and waterfalls, which you can explore while ziplining, paragliding, or riding an ATV. Other popular excursions include visits to coffee farms and Guatapé for sweeping views from the top of Piedra del Peñol.
