La Candelaria Free Graffiti Tour

Bogotá has one of Latin America's most tolerated and celebrated street art scenes, and this two-and-a-half-hour walk through La Candelaria explains why. Your guide reads the murals like a text — indigenous symbolism, political protest, tributes to Colombian history — and names the local and international artists behind the biggest pieces, from collectives like Vertigo Graffiti to solo names such as Guache, DJ Lu and Stinkfish.

You'll also hear how Bogotá's relationship with graffiti shifted from prosecution to near-official endorsement over the past decade, turning entire blocks around Chorro de Quevedo and the Callejón del Embudo into rotating open-air galleries that keep changing every time a new artist paints over the last one.
