Graffiti Tour: a fascinating walk through a street art City
Bogotá's world-class street art and powerful political graffiti are ready for you to discover. Uncover the stories behind the art, the city's complex past, its present peace process, and its aspirations for a better future. Our tours are not just about sightseeing; they are pedagogical and cultural experiences that aim to educate and inspire. We collaborate closely with local artists and community leaders, reinvesting in the financing and management of new murals that continue to transform the urban landscape. Being artists themselves, our knowledgeable guides will introduce you to a diverse range of artists and their techniques, sharing their sources of inspiration and providing the political, cultural, historical, and geographical context necessary to truly understand and appreciate their work. If you choose the Shared option: you will share this tour with other travelers. What you pay per person is equal to the amount we suggest to tip the guides and cover their work (minus the commission). At the end of the tour, you don't have to pay anything extra (even if other travelers do)

At the starting point in front of the Gold Museum, our guide will provide a warm welcome and give an overview of the tour's objectives.
We will visit an enormous mural that showcases images created in collaboration with social leaders and human rights defenders, located at la Procuraduría General de la Nación. This powerful artwork raises awareness about the violence threatening their work for food sovereignty. Expert artists skilled in social communication have metaphorically depicted the leaders' work and values in this mural.
This mural recognizes the challenges of migration and features a portrait of an indigenous girl belonging to a nomadic tribe. The artwork was commissioned by the Peruvian embassy and created by two women painters from Bogotá and Lima.
