Dive into Bogotá’s most expressive streets with the Bogotá Graffiti Guided Tour — a full urban art experience led by a Colombian guide specialised in street culture.
To begin with, we’ll meet at The Cranky Croc Hostel in La Candelaria, where the group gets oriented and receives a warm introduction to graffiti’s roots in Colombia. Afterwards, we’ll hop on the TransMilenio, Bogotá’s public transport system, to reach Distrito Graffiti — the city’s industrial mural corridor.
As we arrive, the streets turn into a living canvas. Guided by your expert host, you’ll walk through curated alleyways and discover striking murals that speak to resistance, identity, and creative power. Moreover, you’ll learn how graffiti acts as both artistic expression and a form of political communication across urban Colombia.
The walk is interactive and reflective. For example, you’ll uncover styles such as stencil, lettering, and realism while decoding their symbolic meanings and local narratives. In addition, your guide will share the evolution of Bogotá’s street art scene and how this district became one of Latin America’s most vibrant platforms for public art.
Eventually, you’ll stop for a traditional Colombian street food snack — typically a fresh empanada or other local favourite — offering a taste of urban flavour to match the cultural depth. To conclude the tour, we’ll ride the TransMilenio back to our starting point, carrying mural stories and visual memories.
This Bogotá graffiti tour stands out as a window into the city’s identity, making it perfect for those curious about Colombia’s creative resistance, cultural pride, and the beauty of expression painted across walls.
