From the first graffitis in the 1960´s & 70’s on New York trains, street art has grown into a worldwide phenomenon covering the walls of cities around the world, and Buenos Aires is one of the best places to see this amazing art form in South America.

During our tour, you will see artwork by artists with different styles and techniques, and discover the stories behind each mural. As we explore, we will discover how street art has an impact on day-to-day life and can raise awareness about crucial topics.
