Do I need to have any prior artistic experience?

Absolutely! Most of our retreat participants in Huancayo have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert mentors who specialise in breaking down complex techniques into simple, fun steps. We start with basic lines and fades before moving on to more intricate designs. You’ll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create by the end of the session with just a little guidance and a lot of enthusiasm.

What should I wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, shoe covers, and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a messy business! Think 'old trainers and comfy jeans' rather than your Sunday best. Since Huancayo’s weather can change quickly, bringing a light jacket or layers is also a smart move to stay comfortable throughout the retreat.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide professional-grade FFP3 respiratory masks to ensure you aren't inhaling any fumes, along with gloves and protective clothing. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large indoor areas with high ceilings. Our instructors are also trained in site safety and will guide you on the correct way to handle the spray cans to ensure a fun, hazard-free creative environment.

Are there any considerations for the high altitude in Huancayo?

Huancayo is situated at a high altitude (around 3,250 metres). We design our retreat workshops to be relaxed and low-impact, but we do recommend staying hydrated and taking it easy if you've just arrived from the coast. We provide plenty of water and scheduled breaks throughout the session. If you feel any altitude sickness, our team is trained to assist, and we can adjust the pace of the workshop to suit you.

How long does a typical retreat session last?

Our standard creative retreat workshops usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, technique practice, and the creation of a final collaborative mural or individual pieces. If you are looking for a more intensive full-day experience as part of a larger corporate or wellness retreat, we can certainly customise the schedule to include deep-dive masterclasses and extended design sessions.

What happens if it rains on the day?

Rain doesn't stop the creativity! In Huancayo, we always have a 'Plan B' ready. If the weather looks like it might take a turn, we move the workshop to one of our covered outdoor spots or a spacious indoor studio. We ensure that these backup locations are just as inspiring and well-equipped as our outdoor sites, so your artistic journey continues uninterrupted regardless of the Andean clouds.

Can you host the workshop at our specific retreat venue?

Yes, we can! While we have fantastic partner locations throughout the city and near the Mantaro Valley, we are completely mobile. If you have a specific venue, hotel, or garden in mind for your retreat, we can bring all the equipment, paint, and artists to you. We just need a suitable wall or we can set up professional plastic-wrapped 'cellograff' walls to ensure your venue stays clean and tidy.

Step by step

Warm welcome and intro: Meet your master artist at our Huancayo creative hub. We’ll kick things off with a quick chat about the history of street art and an overview of the tools we’ll be using.
Mastering the nozzle: Time to get hands-on! You'll learn how to control air pressure and "cap" types to create different line widths and textures.
Sketching your vision: Brainstorm your design on paper first. Whether it's a team logo, a personal mantra, or abstract shapes, we’ll help you refine your concept.
The first layer: Start with the "fill-in." You'll learn how to apply smooth, even coats of colour to your canvas or wall, building the foundation of your piece.
Cutting and fading: This is where the magic happens! We'll teach you how to create gradients, shadows, and clean edges to give your art a professional, 3D pop.
The final outline: Define your work with sharp, bold outlines. This step brings the whole design together and makes your concept truly stand out.
Finishing flourishes: Add those final "highlights" and tags. It’s the little details that give your graffiti its unique character and personality.
Team gallery & photos: Step back and admire the work! We’ll take professional-style group photos of you and your crew with your finished masterpieces.

Good to know

Duration: Usually 2-3 hours, but we can extend this for bespoke full-day retreat schedules.
Group sizes: We cater to everyone from small intimate groups of 5 to large corporate teams of 100+.
What’s included: Premium spray cans, protective overalls, gloves, FFP3 masks, and professional artist tuition.
Safety: We use top-tier safety gear and ensure all workshop spaces are well-ventilated and secure.
Location: Choose between our local Huancayo hotspots or we can come to your chosen venue!

Local culture

Huancayo isn't just the "City of the Unconquered"; it's a hub of craft, culture, and incredible colour. While most people know the city for its beautiful Mates Burilados (carved gourds), there is a growing urban art scene that mirrors the vibrant patterns found in local weaving. Our workshops often take inspiration from the stunning views of the Mantaro River and the nearby Huaytapallana glacier, blending traditional Andean motifs with modern street art techniques. 🔥

Fun fact: Huancayo is home to the famous "Train to the Clouds" (Ferrocarril Central Andino). Much like the bold journey this train takes through the mountains, our workshops encourage you to push your boundaries and reach new creative heights!

Pricing

Our workshop prices are as unique as your art! Because every retreat has different requirements, prices depend on your group size, the location, and your specific setup. We offer flexible packages to suit every budget.
