Comuna 13, Bogota

Comuna 13, The most notorious neighbourhood in Bogata exceeded all expectation. A dense favela packed with activity, children playing sports, dancing, learning music and a general great community environment.

Upon ascending the 6 escalators to the iconic view point over looking the Comuna, you really get a sense of the sheer scale of the living conditions. It is easy to see how it can be an intense network for criminal activity but from what I saw, I take a very positive experience from this immersive and intriguing part of Bogota.
