Graffiti and Urban Art Bike Tour in Buenos Aires

Adventure out and book the Graffiti and Urban Art Bike Tour of Buenos Aires and discover what the artists are saying on the walls of San Telmo, La Boca, and Barracas.

With this 100% eco-friendly outing on a bike, you will go over 15 kilometers exclusively alternative routes in the South of Buenos Aires, accompanied by a local expert guide of urban art.

This excursion on bike through Buenos Aires will take you to the Lanín Street of Barracas, where you will find a beautiful passageway lined with houses covered with interventions by the artist Marino Santa María.

It all began in 1990 when the artist painted the façade of his workshop with forms and colors and later with Venetian style mosaics (highly resistant allowing different pattern and color combinations) to preserve the designs. 35 neighbors wanted to replicate the same type of work on the front of their houses and with help from the government, private institutions, and of the UNESCO the project was accomplished. 

The Graffiti Tour in Buenos Aires continues on to the Usina del Arte (Art Power House), a cultural center located in La Boca who’s building was constructed at the beginning of the 20th century with industrious purposes and now has been recuperated and transformed into an art complex.

Discover why since 2009 San Telmo, La Boca, and Barracas have become the reference points for the urban art movement in South America and how artists from all over the world travel annually to Buenos Aires to come together with the local graffiti artists and transform the gray streets of the Porteño south into an open-air gallery.
