The experience

Siloé sits inside Commune 20, a neighborhood that has worked to shift its reputation by building tourism and cultural exchange around the people who live there. Your guide meets you at the cable car station and walks you through the community's landmarks: the Graffiti Route, where street art covers the walls, Silowood, and the Star of Siloé, an emblematic viewpoint that overlooks both the neighborhood and the wider commune. The guide is accredited and speaks English or Spanish, and the whole tour runs about four hours on foot through the streets.

What sets this tour apart is that you're moving through the neighborhood with someone from it, not a guide who commutes in, but a person whose livelihood depends on showing visitors the creativity and resilience of the place. The cable car ride is included, which gives you a different vantage on the terrain and the layout of Commune 20. A soda is provided during the tour, and the operator includes a medical assistance card as part of the booking.
