Spend even five minutes in Buenos Aires and you’re sure to see graffiti cluttering nearly every visible wall. Most of the time it couldn’t be said to be an improvement on the architecture many take for granted. Spend a few days here and it’s part of the scenery. Proclamations of love for another person, a football team or a band are the bulk of it while political statements from radical to those that are sponsored by political parties take a close second.

But within your first week, you’re sure to run across a wall that makes it obvious that not all graffiti are pleas to be heard or the human equivalent of a dog pissing on a fire hydrant. It’s only fitting, then, that GraffitiMundo , a company that gives graffiti tours in English, sheds light on the artists and their processes in an accessible way. Find yourself in Buenos Aires and advance reservations and $75 pesos (less than $20 US) will get even jaded art veterans excited about art again.
