This is an inspiring story about the process lived in the neighborhoods where I grew up, in the area known as Comuna 13. This place lived a lot of violence, in the 80's due to the gangs wars related to Pablo Escobar and the cartel and in the late 90's because of the urban warfare held by the guerrilas and paramilitaries groups. The situation was finally controled by the goverment after tough military operations between 2001 and 2002 and then an impresive transformation process started. Nowadays Comuna 13 is a place full of happiness that is visited by people from all over the world. Along the tour you will see the elements that helped to improve the life of this resilient community, such as the art, education sites and the innovative transportation systems like cablecars and outdoor escalators. After passing through the conflicts, I can say that we never expected such a huge change of this place but now we are very proud of showing it and it will be a big pleasure for me having you here!
