Graffiti workshop experience for tourists in Sucre
Welcome to Sucre, the stunning 'White City' of Bolivia! While the colonial architecture is breathtaking, there is a vibrant, modern heartbeat pulsing through the side streets of this UNESCO World Heritage site. Our graffiti workshop experience for tourists offers you the unique chance to step away from the traditional museum tours and dive headfirst into the local urban culture. Guided by professional street artists, you’ll swap your camera for a spray can and learn the secrets of the underground art scene. Whether you're staying near the Plaza 25 de Mayo or exploring the heights of Recoleta, our workshops provide an energetic break from the standard travel itinerary. It’s messy, it’s loud, and it’s arguably the most fun you can have with a pair of gloves on. 🎨 Ready to make your mark?

Do I need any previous art experience to join?
Absolutely not! Most of our guests have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are there to guide you through every step, from basic line work to advanced shading techniques. We focus on fun and expression rather than technical perfection, ensuring everyone leaves with a piece of art they are proud of. It’s all about the experience and trying something new!
What should I wear for the workshop?
We’ve got you covered. We provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks to keep you and your clothes clean. However, graffiti can sometimes be a bit unpredictable, so we always recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on. Avoid your favourite designer gear just to be safe while you unleash your inner rebel!
Is the spray paint safe to use?
Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, professional-grade spray paint and provide all necessary safety gear, including FFP2 or FFP3 masks and nitrile gloves. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated or outdoor areas. Our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying, ensuring a secure and enjoyable environment for kids and adults alike.
How long does a typical workshop session last?
Standard tourist workshops in Sucre typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the creation of your final masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or are part of a larger group, we can adjust the duration to fit your itinerary perfectly.
Is this a walking tour or a hands-on workshop?
While we love sharing the history of Sucre’s street art, our workshops are primarily hands-on. You will spend the vast majority of your time with a can in your hand, actually painting. We believe the best way to learn and have fun is by doing. If you're looking for a theoretical lecture, this isn't it—prepare to get your hands messy and your heart pumping!
Can I book for a large group or a private event?
We love hosting groups! Whether you are a solo traveller looking to meet people or a large group exploring Bolivia together, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we bring in additional professional artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention. We also offer specialised packages for bachelor parties or school groups. Just let us know your group size when booking!
What is your booking and payment policy?
We understand that travel plans in South America can change. That’s why we don't require any upfront payment for your booking. You can reserve your spot and pay after the workshop is complete. This gives you total peace of mind and flexibility. We want your experience in the 'White City' to be as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
