Context

In this region, the mountains do not only surround farms and towns: they also determine the way Medellín grew. Its neighborhoods spread up the hillsides and gave rise to mobility solutions, artistic expressions and citizen processes that today are part of the way of getting around the city. Getting to know Medellín alongside its residents lets you understand its contrasts and listen to stories of creativity, memory and transformation that cannot be explained only from its most photographed places.
