Højdepunkter

Bogotá has become a world reference in graffiti. It boasts impressive murals and street art that place it above cities like Miami, Amsterdam, Río, and México City. Its rise as one of the key city-canvases in Latin America has made it an attractive destination for the curious tourist and the bold artist. Would you have guessed? As with graffiti everywhere else, Bogotá’s history with the art has often been tense. But great art can overcome negative labels. Right now, no one would call it vandalism. It has struggled but has earned its place and the city is better for it. The mixture of social and political commentary with a twist of local and foreign styles make Bogotá’s graffiti truly a sight to behold. Join us in this tour not only of Colombia’s history as told by art but a tour of Bogotá as a curated museum of amazing artists!

  • 4Good graffiti tour

    My son and I enjoyed this tour of graffiti around the Candelaria area of Bogota. The guide was friendly and good in explaining the meaning behind the artwork and some of the techniques. The only criticism was that the tour had to be conducted both in English and in Spanish and this meant that there were quite long pauses at each stop.

  • 5Culture and Art in the Candelaria

    Bernardo was very knowledgeable and gracious. We saw so much beautiful art and learned the history of graffiti in the Candelaria. Was well worth the money and I recommend you take this tour. So much to see and learn. Also, coordination and meet up was easy and stress free. Fantastic tour!

  • 5A quick glimpse of Bogota

    A good way to learn more about a city especially if you're on limited time is to do a tour. I could have picked any other, but I chose one that's not quite the usual. Gerardo was the perfect guide to tell you stories of how he (an immigrant himself) sees Bogota through the eyes of artists. It was a great way to see Bogota & scheme of ways to come back again one day!

About Bogotá

Bogotá, Colombia's capital, sits high in the Andes at around 2,600 metres, with a colonial old quarter, a famed gold museum and a hilltop church.

La Candelaria, the old quarter, lies at the foot of the eastern hills, with streets of colonial houses, galleries and murals around Plaza de Bolívar and its cathedral. The Gold Museum holds thousands of pre-Hispanic gold objects, and the Botero Museum shows the plump figures of Fernando Botero, who gave the city his collection. Above town, a funicular and cable car rise to Monserrate, a white church at over 3,100 metres.

Top-ranked sights in Bogotá: Plaza de Bolivar, Botero Museum (Museo Botero), Gold Museum (Museo del Oro).
