Enjoy the #1 tour in Bogotá, Colombia:

The original bogotá graffiti tour..

What to bring

Umbrella or Jacket

Weather changes quickly in Bogotá. It’s a good idea to always come prepared with an umbrella or jacket in case it rains.

Don’t forget to bring cash money for snacks, water and, of course, donations to the tour! Suggested donation: $12 dollars

Bogotá has an altitude of 2.600 meters, being so close to the sun means you can really feel the burn, even on cloudy days.

We like to think we’ll be showing you some cool stuff on the tour. Don’t forget to bring your camera or to make sure your phone is charged for some good photo ops.

The perfect mix of history and art We had a blast with Camilla learning about Colombian politics and culture! The tour took us through the history of street art and iconic murals of Bogotà. It’s a must do ⭐️

Lots of information and background, history of street art Our family loved the tour. Our guide was very knowledgable and had many stories to explain the street art and graffiti.

Amazing tour Camilla was a really nice and enthusiastic tour guide with a lot of knowledge of all the artworks. Would 100% recommend!!

Description

Not included, additional information, cancellation policies.

Bogotá is a city with a rich history and culture, and its graffiti scene is no exception. In recent years, the city has become a mecca for street art, with murals and tags covering everything from buildings to sidewalks. This tour will take you on a journey through the city's vibrant graffiti scene, giving you a unique perspective on Bogotá's culture and history.

The adventure unfolds in three stages, commencing at your hotel with private transportation to the Chapinero locality. Here, you'll gain insight into Bogotá's graffiti with a curated exploration, ranging from simple pieces to expansive murals. The first part culminates in a visit to an urban art gallery, selected based on availability on the tour day. Possible stops include "Visaje Galeria," "Peregrino Print Lab," and "Beat Bop Gallery," offering an understanding of how graffiti has transcended boundaries traditionally reserved for more conventional art forms. Alternatively, you may opt for a visit to a street artist's workshop to delve deeper into the creative process.

The second segment transports you from Chapinero to Calle 26, where iconic large-format murals unveil a powerful fusion of art, protest, and memory, providing an unforgettable glimpse into Colombian reality. For a refreshing break, choose between two unique locations, contingent on availability during the tour day: "La Casa de la Paz," a space of history, memory, and reconciliation, crafting artisanal beer, or a traditional bakery in La Macarena.

The grand finale unfolds in the historic La Macarena neighborhood, where you'll participate in a graffiti workshop guided by a local artist. Set in a culturally enriched house/garden, the workshop explores techniques such as spray control, gradient creation, and the generation of three-dimensionality through color use. Through this hands-on experience, you'll design and imprint your graffiti name on a wall, utilizing art as a tool for personal identity and expression.

As the journey concludes, you'll return to your hotel, having approached Bogotá's graffiti from various perspectives—a transformative experience that reshapes your perception of art and the city itself. Get ready to unleash your creativity and discover the dynamic streets of Bogotá through the lens of its vibrant graffiti culture.
