Do I need to have any previous art experience?

Not at all! Our Portoviejo workshops are designed for everyone from absolute beginners to seasoned creators. Your professional artist-guide will walk you through everything from pressure control to layering. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you can create something impressive once you learn the basic techniques. We provide a supportive, fun environment where there are no mistakes—only 'artistic choices'! Just bring your enthusiasm and we’ll handle the rest.

Is the workshop safe for health and clothing?

We prioritse your safety. We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and professional-grade masks to ensure you don't breathe in any fumes. All our spray paints are low-odour and compliant with health regulations. Our artists are also trained in safety protocols to make sure the environment is secure for all ages. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and old trainers that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on.

Can children join the Portoviejo workshop?

Absolutely! We love hosting families and solo travellers alike. Generally, we recommend a minimum age of 6 or 7 so kids have the hand strength to press the spray nozzle, but we’ve had younger 'mini-artists' join in with a little help from their parents. It's a fantastic bonding activity and a unique way for kids to burn off some creative energy while learning about Ecuadorian street culture.

How long does the experience take?

Standard tourist workshops usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of graffiti, a tutorial on 'can control', and then plenty of hands-on time to complete your own masterpiece. If you are on a tight schedule while touring Manabí, let us know and we can usually tailor the session length to fit your itinerary perfectly.

Do I need to pay in advance?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. You don't have to pay a penny upfront. You can book your adventure in Portoviejo today and settle the payment after the workshop is finished. We believe in our service so much that we want you to be 100% satisfied with the fun you've had before we even talk about the bill. Professionalism and trust are our top priorities.

What happens if it rains on the day of my workshop?

Portoviejo weather is usually gorgeous, but we always have a plan B! If the weather looks like it might rain on our parade, we have access to covered outdoor spaces or indoor locations where we can spray safely. We also have a network of backup artists to ensure that your session goes ahead as planned, even if an artist falls ill. Your holiday plans are safe with us!

Local culture

Portoviejo is the heartbeat of the Manabí province, a city where coastal energy meets inland tradition. While it’s famous for its incredible ceviche and viche, the underground art scene here is quietly booming. As you walk through the city, you'll see how local creatives are using murals to tell stories of resilience and community pride. Our workshop taps into this local spirit, giving you a 'backstage pass' to the city's creative soul. ✨

Fun Fact: Portoviejo is one of the oldest cities in Ecuador, founded in 1535! While the history is long, the street art is fresh, often incorporating local symbols like the tamarind tree or coastal wildlife into modern, vibrant designs.
