Buenos Aires Graffiti Tour

Buenos Aires Graffiti Tour

The Buenos Aires graffiti tour introduces the artistic, political, and revolutionary aspects of the city through its murals. The Palermo area, the largest and most artistic neighborhood, features the Museum of Latin American Art, artisanal markets, and a significant collection of street art.

Your tour begins at Plazoleta Julio Cortazar, known for its markets, and covers the city's notable graffiti in areas such as Roussel, Santa Rosa, Gorriti, and Lavalleja. A local guide will provide insights into the history of this art form in Buenos Aires, highlighting its evolution from the early 20th century, through the political influences of the 1960s and the repression during the dictatorship in the 1970s and 1980s, to its resurgence post-2014 with the involvement of local and international artists.

Witness works by artists like Grolou, Dame, Adrián Escandar, and Alfredo Segatori, and engage with the Worldwide Wall, a collaborative street art project using stickers. The guide will immerse you in the local graffiti culture, showcasing art that blends reality and native culture, enhancing the vibrancy of the city.

The tour concludes around 5 pm at the intersection of Gorriti and Lavalleja.
