About the tour
Street art has been called the most important artistic movement of the 21st century, but its roots go back thousands of years. In Lima’s bohemian district of Barranco, the walls themselves have become a canvas where history, politics, and creativity collide.
On this guided tour, you’ll step beyond the museum walls and discover the grassroots movement that is shaping Peruvian art today. The murals of Barranco are not only vibrant and ever-changing, but also deeply thought-provoking, telling stories of social struggles, women’s voices, and the fight for equality.
As you wander through Barranco’s colorful streets, your guide will bring these works to life, sharing insights into the artists, the messages behind the murals, and the cultural heartbeat of Lima’s most creative neighborhood. And yes, you’ll find plenty of Instagram-worthy moments along the way.

Reviews
The level of knowledge was impressive. Our guide was also a good story teller, and had a way to include everyone in the group. This is a must if you visit José.
José was friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Lima, which was really informative. I would highly recommend this company and tour to anyone visiting Lima!
“The first time I tried this company, I was hooked. Everything was so fabulous and easy. I’ll never go back to anyone else.”
