Excursion Valparaiso and the art of grafiti tour at Valparaiso

Discover the incredible street art and graffiti of Valparaiso on this unique urban walking tour. This excursion takes you through the history of the city and the street art in hidden corners of the hills, followed by a private cocktail.

It is a short transfer to neighborhood you will be touring for the day. Meet your street art expert and learn the history of the city, how it evolved, how it became what it is today; learn specifically how this history has shaped the local street art movement, which is many times an artistic or anti-artistic reflection of society.

This excursion provides a rare window onto the subculture of street art and graffiti. Learn about the roots of muralism and graffiti in Chile, as well as the techniques used in South America, in comparison with North America and Europe. Also gain new understanding of the importance that the local street art movement has on our continent, and how this leads to new motivations, which are reflected on our walls.

After your walking tour, enjoy a private cocktail at Palacio Baburriza, a palace turned into a museum in 1971 and declared a historic monument in 1976. Return to the ship illuminated with new insight into the culture and street art of Valparaiso.
