Cheerful and energetic graffiti in Buenos Aires attracts much attention of whole world in all these years. Graffiti art in Argentina which originally dealt with politically charged messages is now becoming a vital part of Argentine contemporary art scene by hands of talented urban artists.

Different from so-called self-sufficient Arts, the common motivation of artists is to create communication with the masses in the total freedom. Graffiti is everywhere. Moreover, most of them have enough high-impact characters to jump into people’s view and surprise them.

Even though you can accidentally encounter some famous graffiti artists’ works in walking, actually it’s not easy to encompass most of hotspots in Buenos Aires alone. So, here we strongly recommend street art tours which make you discover the plenty of cool works of the city.

Graffitimundo, founded in two years ago by Marina Charles and Jo Sharff sets up tours of street art in the city in order to promote Buenos Aires street art in cooperation with the artists. The tours are carried out every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and cover the main attractions of street art in Buenos Aires for about three hours from 15:00 to 18:00. Each single piece is carefully explained by friendly and crisp guide. For your information, the guide is in English.

The first meeting place is in front of the house fully decorated with cute and intriguing creatures by the artists DEFI and CHU, located at Colegiales district.
