Every day at 2 pm, Zippy Tours offers free walking tours of Communa 13. Note, please always TIP your guide on a free walking tour. We learned about Zippy Tours from our Exotic Fruits Tour guide, who taught the Zippy tour guides English! So this tour is offered by guides who actually grew up in Communa 13 and learned English just a few years ago! Our guide was Laura, and I would highly recommend her. Communa 13 now is not perfect, but it’s working toward it. There are escalators that take residents up and down the hills, the most amazing local art covers the walls and uplifts the people. Some of Communa 13 is almost a playground for tourists, with giant slides and spontaneous hip hop dance performances.
