Highlights
Bogotá is a huge and bike-friendly city! Cycling is the best way to explore areas beyond the historic touristic city center and street art is the key to understanding them.
Our Graffiti Bike Tour offers a unique experience to delve into Bogotá's vibrant art & cycling culture.
As you ride through the city, you'll experience the contrasts between four neighborhoods, discover politically charged and meaningful street art, and enjoy storytelling that provides deeper insights into Colombia.
This tour is the perfect way to experience Bogotá as the capital of graffiti and bicycles it truly is. And Colombia's post-conflict as a social lab for peace and social innovation.
This 3-hour artistic experience starts in La Candelaria and covers 13 km of bike trails, passing through four diverse neighborhoods (Centro, Teusaquillo, Santa Fe, La Macarena), with a stop at a coffee factory and some of the city's largest murals.
