Do I need any prior art or drawing experience?

Absolutely not! Our workshop is designed for everyone, from total novices to experienced sketchers. Our professional street artists will guide you through the process, starting with basic spray can control and safety. You'll be surprised at how quickly you can create something impressive once you learn the right techniques. It's all about having fun and expressing your own unique style.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for tourists?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in a well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor space. Our artists are trained to supervise the session closely, ensuring everyone uses the equipment correctly and safely while enjoying the creative process.

What should I wear to the workshop?

Wear comfortable clothing and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of dust or paint on, just in case. While we provide full protective overalls, it's best to be safe! If it's a sunny day in La Paz, don't forget your sunscreen and a hat, as the high altitude means the sun is particularly strong here.

How long does the graffiti experience take?

A standard workshop for tourists usually lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of local street art, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting time for you to complete your masterpiece. We can also customise the duration for larger private groups if you need a specific schedule.

What happens if it rains on the day?

La Paz is famous for its unpredictability! If the weather doesn't play ball, we usually have covered locations or indoor backup spaces available to ensure your workshop goes ahead. We also have a large team of backup artists, so even if an instructor is unwell, your booking is secure. We guarantee your creative session won't be cancelled.

Do I have to pay in advance?

We believe in the quality of our experience, which is why we don't require upfront payments for most bookings. You can book your spot and pay after the workshop is completed. This gives you total peace of mind and ensures we are 100% focused on providing a fantastic, fun-filled session for you and your group.

Are there any tools to help me prepare?

Yes! We offer several digital tools to get you started. Check out our online Tag Creator to practice your design before you arrive, or take our Workshop Quiz to see which street art style suits you best. We also have a Cost Calculator on our site so you can get an instant estimate for your specific group size.

Local culture

La Paz is a city of vertical wonders, where the streets wind through steep canyons and the walls tell stories of revolution, tradition, and Andean pride. From the high-flying murals of El Alto—visible from the world-famous Mi Teleférico cable car system—to the hidden stencils in the Sopocachi district, street art is the heartbeat of this city. Our workshops tap into this local energy, drawing inspiration from the "Pachamama" (Mother Earth) and the iconic Aymara textiles.

Fun fact: La Paz is home to some of the highest street art in the world! Many murals in the neighbouring city of El Alto sit at over 4,000 metres above sea level, where the thin air actually affects how the spray paint leaves the nozzle!

By joining our workshop, you're not just spectating; you're participating in a living tradition. We often work in areas where urban art is used to revitalise neighbourhoods, giving you a truly authentic glimpse into the "Real Bolivia" beyond the tourist trail.
