Things to do in La Estrella

Medellin · 13.2 km from La Estrella

11 reviews

Parque de los Pies Descalzos is a Zen-inspired urban green space themed around "bare feet," funded by the local public utility company EPM and built between 1998–2000. The way to enjoy it is right in the name: take off your shoes and socks, and let your feet touch the grass, fine sand, and flowing water. The park features several areas specifically designed for bare feet, each with its own character: the Zen garden and bamboo groves offer shade; the sand playground is covered with soft, fine sand where children chase each other and play in the water barefoot; the shallow pools and fountains are designed for foot soaking. Walking barefoot through the bamboo groves, sand, grass, and pools, the changing sensations under your feet are what make this park a unique experience compared to ordinary city parks. The park is adjacent to the Medellín Metropolitan Theater and is connected to the EPM Interactive Science Museum, so you can include visiting the exhibits and the barefoot experience in the same itinerary. Since its completion, it has been an open space for citizens to relax, play, and participate in public activities.

Comuna 13

4.5

Comuna 13 in Medellin was once one of the most dangerous slums in Colombia, known for gang conflicts and government military operations. During the 1980s and 1990s, it was controlled by drug cartels, guerrillas, and paramilitary groups, with frequent violence and residents living in fear. Since the 2000s, local youth have reshaped the community's image through art forms such as graffiti, rap, and street dance, covering bullet-riddled walls with color and telling stories of resistance and hope. The government also intervened with renovations, building escalators and cable cars to improve transportation and make this hillside slum more accessible. Today, Comuna 13 has become one of the most popular attractions in Medellin. Visitors can take a graffiti tour, learn about the neighborhood's history with a guide, admire street art, and sample local snacks. The former battlefield is now filled with music, dance, and murals, and is hailed as an "open-air museum" that showcases the community's resilience. The transformation of Comuna 13 proves that even the darkest places can be reborn through art and unity.

The internal art gallery displays replicas of Fernando Botero's sculptures, and the spiral staircase is inlaid with mosaic murals created by local artists. The weekend handicraft market can find embroidery and jadeite from coffee farming areas.
