About This Tour
A private guide walks you through La Candelaria's murals and graffiti, explaining the artists and the history behind Bogota's street art scene. La Candelaria is known for its colorful, large-scale murals and graffiti — a scene that grew partly out of Bogota's relatively permissive stance toward street art. Your private guide walks you to some of the neighborhood's most striking pieces and explains their significance and the artists behind them, with round-trip transportation included.
Bogota's street art scene drew international attention after 2011, when the teenage graffiti artist Diego Felipe Becerra was shot by a police officer in Bogota, prompting protests and a push to recognize graffiti as legitimate expression. In the years after, city authorities moved to regulate rather than simply criminalize graffiti, a stance that helps explain why large murals are tolerated across the city.
La Candelaria, the colonial old town, is a natural canvas because its low, whitewashed walls meet the steep hills. Guides here typically distinguish between commissioned murals and unsanctioned tags, and the pieces change often, so no two visits show exactly the same wall.
