About this activity
Come join us to uncover the secrets kept on the street walls of Colombia's capital. Our Bogota Street Art Tour will allow you to meet and learn about young artists, and the meanings, colors, textures, images and symbols embodied in a variety of beautiful pieces of street art internationally known. This tour is an alternative to learn about country's history, urban events and iconic characters while enjoying sightseeing of some of the most representative places in the city. After our expert guide and driver collect you from your hotel, we will head to El Chorro de Quevedo, where you will be able to see some of the first urban art interventions in La Candelaria neighborhood. We will walk through the historic center of the city, appreciating pieces of different artists in alleys, colorful streets, facades of colonial houses, ancient buildings, squares and walls. Our path will lead us to the Universidades Transmilenio station, where we will take a metro bus tour through the Avenida El Dorado, one of the main streets of the city, exclusively destined to accommodate the largest pieces of urban art in town, a landmark that pleases both locals and tourists. This route will show you the work of the best exponents of street art, who supported by the mayoralty, are working on infrastructure projects embellishing huge walls, abandoned buildings and bridges. Arriving at Central Cemetery of Bogota, we will continue by foot, walking through the traditional sector of Teusaquillo, which hosts various theatres and cultural and artistic spaces until we reach ""Galeria Visaje"" an old house taken over by graffiti artists and transformed into a meeting point for the street art culture and at the same time a gallery where many art works are exhibit. There you will be able to witness how street art is finding its place into the art market and also you will have the chance to buy cool souvenirs. Finally, our driver will pick you up at the gallery and drive you safely back to your hotel or any other point you want.
