Bogota Street Art Tour: Graffiti in La Candelaria & Tequendama

Summary

Private Graffiti Walk in Bogota’s Historic Old Town

You’ll walk Bogota’s colorful streets with a local guide who knows every mural’s story, then see graffiti near Tequendama Falls—all without worrying about transport or tickets.

What’s the experience like?

We kicked off our morning with a quick coffee at Café Pasaje—nothing fancy, just strong and hot, the way locals like it. Our guide, Camilo, met us right outside and wasted no time leading us through La Candelaria’s narrow streets. You can smell fresh arepas from a nearby vendor as you pass by the first mural—layers of color climbing up old brick walls. Camilo pointed out a piece by Toxicómano; he explained how some of these artists work at night to avoid trouble with the police. The stories behind each wall really stick with you.

After weaving through alleys filled with music and chatter, we hopped back in the van for a drive out to Tequendama Falls. The air felt cooler here, misty even, and you could hear the roar of water before you saw it. There’s graffiti here too—bolder lines, bigger messages. Our driver said weekends get busy, but on weekdays it’s mostly locals snapping photos or just hanging out. We wrapped up with a few more stops for photos before heading back into town.
