Urban Art and Hidden Graffiti in Buenos Aires

This distinctive cycling adventure takes you off the typical tourist trails, guiding you through the concealed southern barrios, or neighborhoods, of Buenos Aires to unveil the city's most striking street art.

This experience goes beyond the conventional urban art exploration; we go right into the cultural and historical tapestry of Buenos Aires' avant-garde design district and to lesser-explored lively neighborhoods. While on this cycling journey, you will learn the intricate connection between graffiti tags and art, the city's architectural nuances, the utilization of public spaces by artists, and the compelling expressions that amplify the voices of the marginalized.

As you pedal through these hidden gems, you'll witness the convergence of artistic narratives and the vibrant history of Buenos Aires, gaining a profound understanding of the symbiotic relationship between the city's evolving landscape and the creative expressions that adorn its walls.

You will discover the multicultural neighborhood of San Telmo, the mosaic-covered houses on Pasaje Lanin, and Barracas, a riverfront barrio that sprung up for slave quarters and then transformed into an area for tanneries and slaughterhouses. You will also visit the working-class area of La Boca, with its colorful Caminito - or traditional alley - that inspired the music for the famous Caminito tango dance. Along the way, you and your group will take a break for lunch.

This tour offers you an immersive exploration of the city's dynamic street art scene, transcending the surface to illuminate the cultural and historical depths that shape Buenos Aires' urban identity. Join us on this cycling adventure to discover the transformative power of street art, where each mural becomes a canvas for untold stories, providing a unique perspective of the heart and soul of Buenos Aires' diverse neighborhoods.
