AAV Trip Overview
The Hidden Graffiti & Urban Art Tour is a strictly off the beaten path tour that takes you pedaling through the hidden southern neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, La Boca and Barracas, to find the city’s most impressive street art. Far more than strictly urban art, you will learn the difference between tagging, bombing, pieces and murals within the surrounding vibrant neighborhoods, contextualizing it with historical and cultural background.
You will learn about the context, and historical background that led to Buenos Aires becoming one of the world capitals of street art. You will see one of the world’s largest murals painted by a single artist, a trait that once won it a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. *(Please note that this tour requires you to be confident cycling in urban settings; it is far off the beaten path and NOT in touristy areas, and in some cases may approach precarious parts of the city).
